The Democrats Demand Security Protection for Yair Golan and Warn of a High Court Petition
The Democrats party sent an urgent letter to Shin Bet Director David Zini demanding that security protection be provided immediately to party chairman Yair Golan. If no decision is made by September 27, the party intends to petition the High Court of Justice.
Key facts
- •Recipient of the demand: Shin Bet Director David Zini
- •Person for whom security protection is being requested: Yair Golan
- •Risk level according to the police assessment: 4
- •Deadline for a decision: by September 27
- •Planned next step: petitioning the High Court of Justice
The Reason for the Demand
The police raised the risk level assigned to Yair Golan to level 4. According to a source, the same level was assigned to Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yashar! party.
The Party’s Position
In the warning letter, the party addressed the severity of the threats against Golan and concrete intelligence concerning him. The authors of the appeal argued that failure to act could endanger his life, including in the near future.
No Judicial Decision Has Yet Been Made
This is a preliminary demand addressed to the Shin Bet director, not a petition that has already been filed or a court judgment. The case number, the date of the appeal, and David Zini’s response do not appear in the source; likewise, it was not reported whether security protection was provided.
What this means for you
The report shows that a request for state-provided security protection can first be submitted to the competent authority and, in the absence of a decision, become the subject of a petition to the High Court of Justice. However, the source does not support the conclusion that the court has already considered the issue or ruled that there is an obligation to provide Golan with security protection.
