Knesset's chief security officer ordered to tighten personal security measures around Blue & White Chairman Benny Gantz starting Sunday morning following threats he received on social media.
Parliament's serjeant-at-arms Yosef Griff informed Gantz's team of the new security protocols Saturday evening.
The incident was brought to Griff's attention after several hateful and inciteful posts targeted at Gantz and other Blue & White senior officials circulated online over the weekend.
Some users implied, or outright argued, that Gantz should share the same fate as former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin who was assassinated in November 1995.
