Israeli domestic security chief agrees to step down in June amid ongoing tensions with Netanyahu

ai generated text

Ronen Bar, the director of Israel's Shin Bet internal security service, has announced his intention to step down on June 15. Bar made this decision after Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, attempted to fire him, citing a lack of trust. The two men have been involved in a public dispute, with each trading accusations and counteraccusions. Bar has accepted responsibility for the failures of the Shin Bet on October 7, and his resignation is expected to spare the supreme court from making a potentially contentious judgment.

    1. The accusation, according to which I allegedly demanded action against innocent civilians, or against a non-violent and legitimate protest during the protests of 2023, is an absolute lie.

    1. After 35 years of service, in order to allow an orderly process for appointing a permanent successor and for professional handover, I will end my role on June 15, 2025.
    2. After years on many fronts, in one night, on the southern front, the sky fell. All systems collapsed. The Shin Bet also failed to provide a warning.
    3. To this day, the reason for my firing is not clear to me.
    4. It was made clear to me that in the event of a constitutional crisis, I would be expected to obey the prime minister rather than the Supreme Court.
    5. My love for the homeland and my loyalty to the state are the foundation of every decision I have made in my professional life.

    1. Of those responsible for the greatest failure in the history of the country, only one remains, clinging to the chair.
