Netanyahu Ousts Shin Bet Chief Over ‘Qatargate’ Probe | Bar Accuses PM of Sabotage

Israel’s cabinet has unanimously voted to dismiss Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar after Prime Minister Netanyahu claimed a loss of trust in him.

Netanyahu criticized Bar’s security approach, while Bar accused Netanyahu of sabotaging peace talks and trying to undermine the ongoing "Qatargate" investigation.

Thousands protested the dismissal, which the Attorney General condemned as illegal.

Critics argue Netanyahu is attempting to replace Bar with a loyalist to control the security agency during a political crisis.
