Mr Netanyahu said he has had ‘ongoing distrust’ with the director of the Shin Bet internal security service, Ronen Bar.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu plans to bring a vote to dismiss Shin Bet director Ronen Bar, citing "ongoing distrust." Tensions arose after Bar's predecessor threatened to release sensitive information about Netanyahu. Bar intends to continue in his role to address obligations related to hostages, investigations, and succession. Netanyahu's move is seen by some as a way to avoid a commission of inquiry into the October 7 attack and is opposed due to investigations into Netanyahu's office and alleged political motivations.
