Netanyahu’s push to fire Israel’s chief of domestic security sparks an uproar
The HinduIsrael’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has fired or forced out a string of top officials since the deadly Hamas attack in 2023 that triggered the war on Gaza. The announcement by Mr. Netanyahu on Sunday that he would seek to fire the director of Israel Security Agency, Shin Bet, Ronen Bar, came as the security service investigates ties between Netanyahu advisers and the Gulf state of Qatar. Israel’s Attorney-General said on Sunday that Mr. Netanyahu needed to clarify the legal basis for his decision before taking any action, noting that “the role of the Shin Bet is not to serve the personal trust of the Prime Minister.” On Monday, Mr. Netanyahu shot back with a warning letter to Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara, saying she has no authority to intervene in the matter. Mr. Bar, who was appointed to lead the Shin Bet in 2021 by a previous Prime Minister, accepted responsibility for his agency’s failure to halt the Hamas attack ahead of time. But the Shin Bet investigation into failures also pointed blame at Mr. Netanyahu for formulating a policy that focused on containing Hamas, while ignoring a growing threat.
