However, according to the report, that hasn’t prevented his monitoring.The Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet), which is the organization tasked with protecting Netanyahu’s son, told Channel 14 that “the incident is recognized and [being] handled by the security forces.”According to the report, the private investigators were hired by elements of the protest movement against the government’s judicial reform initiative.Examples cited in the report include an incident in Puerto Rico a few months ago, in which a private investigator twice attempted to rent a room in the same resort Yair Netanyahu was in. The PI tried to rent the room in the name of a person involved in the anti-reform protests, but was initially denied as his credit details did not match the name. He came back the next day with the correct details.In another incident, at Miami Beach, Yair Netanyahu’s security guards noticed someone taking pictures of him and approached the individual, who was identified as a private investigator.Read General strike helped Hamas, says Netanyahu, vowing not to cave to protesters on Gaza withdrawalPolitical officials familiar with the situation told Channel 14 that the Shin Bet was not doing enough to investigate who is behind this phenomenon or prevent it from occurring. anti-government protestJudicial reformleft-wingYair Netanyahu
