After 12 years of close security, the security envelope around the family of former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to be removed next month.
In recent years, Sarah Netanyahu, Yair Netanyahu and Avner Netanyahu have been accompanied by security guards and an attached vehicle at the expense of the state.
With the formation of the new government, it was decided to remove security six months after the end of Netanyahu's term, in the second week of December, in accordance with the GSS recommendation. A Walla! No response was received on behalf of the Netanyahu family and they did not respond if the family intends to request a further extension of security.

The Netanyahu family's security arrangements attracted a great deal of public attention during his years as prime minister, including the fact that Yair and Avner Netanyahu were the first children of the prime minister to enjoy close security, which continued even when they were adults leaving the prime minister's residence on Balfour Street.
Their security was carried out by the Magen unit - the unit for securing personalities in the Prime Minister's Office, which also secured Sarah Netanyahu and is also responsible for the security of government ministers. In 2018, a storm broke out after former GSS chief Yoram Cohen In permanent security for Netanyahu's children, but over the years the family has claimed that due to the threats against them they need the security envelope, and the security department in the Prime Minister's Office has recommended accordingly.
Netanyahu himself is entitled by virtue of being a former prime minister to close security and an armored vehicle with a driver for 20 years from the end of his term.
In January this year, the Ministerial Committee on GSS Affairs, then headed by former Minister Eli Cohen, actually extended the security period for members of the prime minister's family - to one year from the end of his term, even though the GSS position was only six months.
With the entry of the new government, the Ministerial Committee convened again, and decided to shorten the security period to six months, in accordance with the GSS recommendation.
