Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dismissed Shin Bet head Ronen Bar, citing distrust and the agency’s failure to foresee the October 7 Hamas assault.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dismissed the head of the country’s domestic security service over failure to anticipate the Hamas attack on 7 October 2023.
The Israeli cabinet met Thursday evening to formally approve the early dismissal of Ronen Bar, who was appointed in October 2021 to a five-year term as chief of the Shin Bet.
The Shin Bet, Israel’s domestic intelligence agency, plays a key role in the country’s security operations. Its activities and personnel are closely guarded state secrets.
Bar has described his dismissal as politically motivated.
Netanyahu announced his decision in a video statement, citing "ongoing distrust" between the two men that he said had "grown over time."
Tensions have built up over a corruption investigation involving allegations that aides in Netanyahu’s office were offered bribes by individuals linked to Qatar.
Netanyahu has dismissed the accusations as a politically motivated effort to unseat him.
