The head of the Israeli Internal Security Services, Sin Beth, who was dismissed by Benjamin Netanyahu, accuses Israel’s prime minister of demanding a personal faith in his written affidavit to the Israeli Supreme Court.

It is the latest episode of the political -democratic confrontation between Netanyahu and Ronen Bar, the removal of which caused anger in much of Israeli public opinion and mass demonstrations.

The decision of Benjamin Netanyahu is denounced by the Israeli opposition, seeing another authoritarian intervention of Israeli power in the movement of the Israeli prime minister, and is challenged by the State Public Prosecutor.

The Israeli Supreme Court asked the government on April 8 and the General Prosecutor to reach a compromise on Ronen Bar’s dismissal after the Jewish Easter, which was just over.

According to Israeli media, it is likely that Ronen Bar will resign soon by putting an end to the confrontation.

In his affidavit, Ronen Bar accuses Benjamin Netanyahu of asking him to show faith in his face.

“It was clear“In the event of a constitutional crisis I would have to obey Mr Netanyahu and not the Supreme Court, Ronen Bar writes in the document released by the Public Prosecutor.

In his testimony, Sin Beth’s chief categorically rejects the accusations of Netanyahu and his environment that his service did not alert the Prime Minister and other Israeli security services in time for the attack on October 723.

According to Sin Beth, that day, all Israeli security services received a signal “For unusual preparations and the likelihood of aggressive intentions by Hamas“

Ronen Bar explains how he went to Sin Beth’s headquarters at 04.30, that is, two hours before Hamas’ attack on Israeli territory and gave instructions to inform the prime minister’s military secretary of the events.

“I insist on the fact that no one had predicted that such an attack would take place and the certainty is not that morning“, Writes Ronen Bar.

“That night was not hidden by the security mechanism and by the prime minister“, He adds.

Ronen Bar also states that Netanyahu had told him “more than once” that he expected that his services would act against Israeli citizens involved in demonstrations against the government, “with particular emphasis on monitoring funders of protest events.”

It also confirms to the information published in the media that Netanyahu sought to secure his signature to delay his deposition as a suspected prime minister in his corruption trial.

On April 8, the Supreme Court confirmed its initial ruling to dismiss the dismissal of Sin Beth’s chief after examining five appeals that had been filed therein.

Ronen Bar “will continue to perform his duties until a newer ruling,” the court decided, giving the government to consider candidates for his succession, but banning any announcement of appointment.

Netanyahu’s office reply

Benjamin Netanyahu’s office describes the statements of Sin Beth’s chief, who were justified in the Israeli Supreme Court, in which Ronen Bar accuses the Israeli prime minister of demanding his own personal faith.

“Ronen Bar has presented false statements in his deposition with the Supreme Court, which will be detailed in detail,” the prime minister’s office said in a statement.
