Ronen Bar recently mentioned conditions for his resignation, including the release of the rest of the hostages and the establishment of a state commission of inquiry into October 7.
Ronen Bar, chief of Israel’s Shin Bet internal security agency, recently rejected Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s request for him to resign, Channel 12 reported Sunday evening.
On Thursday, “In a tense meeting between the two, Netanyahu made several harsh statements,” the report said.
Referring to the internal Security Service probe regarding its failures on and before the Hamas-led October 7, 2023 invasion of Israel, reporter Yaron Avraham said that Netanyahu “basically said, ‘We waited for the investigations, now it’s time to put the keys on the table’ and leave.”
