An offhand remark made by a Likud Minister’s husband on Monday morning raised speculations about the possibility of another war with Iran.

Attorney Chovev Damari, the husband of Science and Technology Minister Gila Gamliel, appeared on a Channel 14 panel on Monday morning and accidentally revealed classified information—that security around their home was increased on Sunday amid tensions with Iran.

During the discussion, the panel addressed whether it was safe to book a vacation or whether another round of fighting with Iran is imminent. The host jokingly asked Damari whether his wife, Minister Gamliel, had told him anything about the situation.

Damari initially replied that she had not, but then added, “But, as it happens, they increased the security at our house yesterday. I don’t know why.”

When the other panelists wondered when security around the minister had last been increased, one of them remarked, “That also happened during the previous operation against Iran.”

Journalist Chaim Levinson wrote on his X account that the remark constituted a breach of Israel’s military censorship.

“Other media outlets submitted this story for publication this morning, and it was barred from publication. I’m waiting for the Shin Bet to investigate the matter,” he wrote.

Following the report, neither Minister Gamliel’s office nor Israeli security officials has offered an official explanation for the increased security around her home.
