Netanyahu did not specify whether Yair or Avner was the target, but stated the threat prompted him to seek stronger security protection for prime ministerial candidates. The prime minister discussed the security arrangements with Shin Bet chief David Zini following the Ministerial Committee for Shin Bet Affairs approving extended personal protection for his family members in July.
