The prime minister’s office has asked the security agency to tell him that he can’t spend long periods of time in places where his presence would be public knowledge, Haaretz daily reports.

The warning comes as legislation introduced by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, which stops the administrative release of security prisoners, went into effect on Friday. Administrative release permits the release of security prisoners with relatively light sentences near the end of their prison term to make room in prisons.

According to the Channel, Bar has in recent days reached out to Ben Gvir, after obtaining permission from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a move described by the channel as "very exceptional", noting that "the Shin Bet chief does not usually go to ministers".

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett received a threatening letter Tuesday containing a bullet, local media reported.

The domestic intelligence agency admits to sending warnings to Palestinians not involved in protests in East Jerusalem last year.
