Israel war: intelligence chief makes strong accusations against Netanyahu
Israel - Israeli domestic intelligence chief Ronen Bar (59) has made serious accusations against the head of government in the conflict with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (75) that has been going on for weeks.
Netanyahu had demanded personal loyalty from him, the newspaper "The Times of Israel" quoted from an affidavit that the head of the domestic intelligence service Shin Bet had submitted to the court.
The Prime Minister had demanded that Bar obey him and not the Supreme Court in the event of a constitutional crisis.
He also rejected Netanyahu's accusation that he had already known about the impending attack shortly before the massacre by the Islamist Hamas on October 7, 2023 and had failed to warn the Prime Minister in time. Bar's affidavit was full of lies, Netanyahu wrote on the X news platform.
The people concerned did not even get on the plane.
