Israel's cabinet approves sacking of Shin Bet chief amid backlash
ai generated text
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has voted to dismiss Ronen Bar, the head of the Shin Bet, Israel's internal security service, from his post. This move has sparked widespread condemnation from Israelis, with many taking to the streets to express their discontent.
Ronen Bar will end his role as Shin Bet head on April 10, 2025, or when a permanent Shin Bet head is appointed – whichever comes first.
The dismissal of the head of the service at this time, at the initiative of the prime minister, sends a message to all those involved, a message that may jeopardize the optimal outcome of the investigation. This is a direct danger to the security of the state of Israel.
He never intended to be a hero to the opposition or the protest movement. He is a typical product of Israel's security establishment. He is not a liberal or a softie but he is honest and brought up in the tradition that the state is important but without the law the state is nothing.
There is the question of timing, which reeks of politics.
