“Shin Bet director Ronen Bar is expected to file an affidavit with the High Court of Justice on Sunday in response to his dismissal. Bar is set to respond to the allegations floated against him by the government and by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, including the claim that the PM has lost faith in Bar, as well as allegations that he has a conflict of interest due to the Shin Bet leak affair. … Netanyahu is expected to submit his own affidavit in the case by Thursday. The case is before the court due to legal challenges to Bar’s dismissal. According to a report by Channel 12 News, Bar has expressed a desire to step down as director of the security agency in the coming weeks, but he has not confirmed the channel’s report. If Bar does announce his intention to resign, that could render the legal case moot.” (04/20/25)
