Two weeks ago, the professional committee, the Ciechanover Committee, recommended extending the security of Netanyahu's children for a period of six months from the end of his term - but the Prime Minister's Office demanded that the security be extended, so that it would last up to two years from the end of his term.
Ultimately, in a sort of compromise, it was decided that the security would continue for a year after the end of the term.
The Security and Emergency Department in the Prime Minister's Office responded: "In light of recent security threats against the Prime Minister's wife and sons that will harm them after the Prime Minister's term ends, all security agencies have been approved to provide a security response in accordance with the intelligence situation.".
The Prime Minister's Office stated: "The Prime Minister has no connection or involvement whatsoever in security considerations, and these are determined solely by professional security officials.".
