The renowned conductor Daniel Barenboim was seen in Jerusalem on Tuesday accompanied by bodyguards.

The Jerusalem International Chamber Music Festival, in which he is participating, has decided to step up measures to protect the high-profile musician, known for his harsh criticism of Israel's policies toward the Palestinians, after right-wing activists rallied outside his Jerusalem residence on Monday and threatened to hurt him.

A few years ago, Barenboim was attacked by activists of the extreme right-wing Kach movement in a Jerusalem restaurant in protest of his intention to hold a concert in Ramallah.
