Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) chief David Zini has accepted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's request to grant Sara Netanyahu lifelong security, Ynet reported on Wednesday evening.
Zini will make his recommendation to the Ministerial Committee for Shin Bet Affairs, Ynet reported.
N12, however, reported that it has not yet been determined whether Sara Netanyahu will receive security for life or for only five years, but it is estimated that her request will be granted.
Sara Netanyahu granted lifetime security protection
The move comes after heavy pressure from both Netanyahu and his wife, N12 News reported.
N12 also cited security officials, claiming that Zini was appointed as Shin Bet chief "precisely for this moment," as he previously held the position of Netanyahu's military secretary and is considered close personally with the prime minister and his family.
The lifelong security protection will also be granted to Yair and Avner Netanyahu, Benjamin and Sara's sons, N12 reported.
