Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced his intention to seek the dismissal of Ronen Bar, the director of Israel's internal security service, Shin Bet. Netanyahu plans to propose Bar's removal to the government this week, and is believed to have majority support to do so.

    1. Netanyahu declared war on the State of Israel.
    2. The dismissal of the head of the Shin Bet is a desperate attempt by a criminal defendant to get rid of someone who is loyal to Israel and who is investigating Netanyahu and his close circle for serious and dark offences and is not willing to whitewash them.

    1. We are in the midst of a war for our very survival … At any time, but especially during such an existential war, the prime minister must have complete confidence in the director of the [Shin Bet]. Unfortunately, however, the situation is the opposite.
    2. I have had a persistent lack of confidence in the head of the Shin Bet, a distrust that has only grown over time.

    1. I took responsibility for the agency's part (in failing to prevent the attack) ... it is clear that the intent behind my dismissal is not related to October 7.
    2. The Prime Minister's expectation of a personal duty of trust whose purpose contradicts the public interest is a fundamentally wrong expectation.

    1. For a year and a half, he saw no reason to fire him, but only when the investigation into Qatar's infiltration of Netanyahu's office and the funds transferred to his closest aides began, did he suddenly feel an urgent need to fire him immediately.
