Ronen Bar

Yair Lapid, Benny Gantz, and Yair Golan all denounced Netanyahu, as well as senior activists representing families affected by the October 7 massacre.

The prime minister, in his affidavit to the High Court of Justice, claimed Ronen Bar did not alert him to the dangers of Hamas's invasion.

Throughout the session, numerous MKs were expelled from the discussions for outbursts and calling Committee Chair Simcha Rothman a "bully."

The implication is singular: the Shin Bet director is no longer subject to the rule of law, but solely to the prime minister, because the prime minister is the law.

I would suggest a more circumspect review of Bar’s version of events and the motivations of those currently supporting him. They may be engaged in activities dangerous to our democracy.

"They are not visitors to my home," Baharav-Miara added.

According to Tal, Bar attempted to create a “false narrative. The job of the Shin Bet was to provide specific warnings of attacks, and not “general warnings” such as the ones issued in 2023.

The affidavits are the result of a compromise proposal set by the High Court at the conclusion of a hearing on the legality of Bar’s firing on April 8.

Ronen Bar’s affidavit accuses the PM of a series of crimes. The attorney-general must step up, and the citizens should appreciate the danger.

As pressure mounts on Netanyahu, new claims from Shin Bet chief point to actions that could lead to the prime minister’s legal incapacitation.
