Benjamin Netanyahu blames the chief Shin Bet of failure before the Hamas attack. Ronen Bar claims that Prime Minister Netanyahu ordered the monitoring of demonstrators and interfered with the investigation.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday that the head of Shin Bet Ronen Bar “unhappily failed” when Hamas attacked Israel. According to AFP, TASR writes about it.
“The bar confirms the evaluation of all ministers of the government that October 7 was woefully failed. Only this reason justifies the end of his term,” Netanyahua said in a long statement. His office issued him after the honor of Bara before the Supreme Court.
Séf Shin Bet Ronen Bar described in detail the pressure of Prime Minister Netanyahu that he demanded his personal loyalty and ordered the monitoring of anti -government demonstrators. He also stated that he was to intervene in an ongoing corruption investigation.
The Israeli government dismissed Ronen Bara on March 21, which was rejected by the Attorney General Gali Baharavová-Miarová and parliamentary opposition. According to the government critics, this was related to the investigation of the Katargate case. In it, the closest Netanyahu collaborators are suspicious that they were paid by the Qatar government for lobbying in favor of her interests. The case was unveiled in February 2025. The bar in March confirmed that Shin Bet’s case is investigating. Netanyahu has now blamed him for responsibility for the failure of the secret services before the Hamas attack of October 7, 2023 to Israel.
