give security

Secretary of State Antony Blinken, arriving in Tel Aviv on a trip to show solidarity, told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that America would always be by Israel's side and give security assistance, but he urged Israel to show restraint "even when it's difficult".

If passed, it will give security services new powers to go after interference - but some routes, such as political donations and APPGs, will remain primarily for parliament and parties to deal with themselves.

Activists, however, say the state of emergency provisions are so nebulous that they give security officials unfettered latitude.
