Former defense minister Gallant vacated home over security threat under Shin Bet direction

Gallant's decision to leave Amikam was made after a security risk assessment conducted by the Shin Bet.

Former defense minister Yoav Gallant vacated his home in Moshav Amikam in northern Israel over a year ago, following a threat made against him shortly before the end of his term.

The decision to leave Amikam was made after a security risk assessment conducted by the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency).

Gallant is currently renting an apartment in Tel Aviv with his wife, Israeli media reported on Friday.

The apartment was described as “luxurious,” though no additional details were provided regarding its size or other specifications.
