The head of the Domestic Intelligence Service of Israel, Ronen Bar, will resign on June 15.
The head of the Israel Domestic Intelligence Service, Ronen Bar, announced his resignation and will resign on June 15, Israeli media reported Monday, six weeks after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tried to expel the Security Chief.
The Shin Bet, which manages the anti -terrorist investigations, has been in the center of a growing political battle that faces the Netanyahu right -wing coalition government against a series of critics ranging from members of the security establishment to hostage families in Gaza.
Netanyahu said on March 16 that he had long lost confidence in the bar and that confidence in the Head of the National Security Service, whose roles include contractorism and security for government officials, was especially crucial in a moment of war.
Later, the Supreme Court temporarily frozen the Government’s commitment to fire Bar, who said that Netanyahu wanted to fire him after he refused to comply with the requests that included spying on Israeli protesters and interrupting the leader’s corruption trial.
Netanyahu, in response to accusations, the bar accused of lying.
