Avi Dichter, chief of Israel’s Shin Beth General Security Service, is warning Prime Minister Ariel Sharon his life is in danger and is beefing up security around him, according to a report in Joseph Farah’s G2 Bulletin.

But it’s not Hamas terrorists, nor Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade suicide bombers who are out to get Sharon.

Dichter warns of a possible plot by the ultra-right to kill Sharon. The reasons, as described by Dichter, are found in the diplomatic process for peace with the Palestinians and Sharon’s commitment to remove Jewish settlements in the Palestinian Authority territory.

G2B has learned that, two weeks ago, Sharon was asked to approve administrative detention of extremists. He has so far rejected such a move. The last time anti-government activists from the right were detained was in 1995 following the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.

At the recent Aqaba summit, Sharon made a pledge to begin the dismantling of unauthorized outposts built since he came to power in March 2001. The pledge, which has been cautiously welcomed by international observers, has drawn fury from settler groups, who massed in Jerusalem on the evening of the summit to make clear their opposition to any concession-making on the settlements issue.

At least 20,000 people are estimated to have joined the demonstration, which was also attended by members of Sharon’s own Likud Party, as well as members of the National Union and pro-settler National Religious Party, both of which are partners in Sharon’s coalition.

Shin Beth is concerned that Sharon’s statement could raise the risk of settler groups or individuals resorting to violence against the prime minister.
