On May 21, 2025, Israel's Supreme Court ruled that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's attempt to dismiss Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar was unlawful, citing violations of legal procedures and a conflict of interest linked to an ongoing investigation involving Netanyahu's aides. The court's decision intensified political tensions, with Bar alleging that his dismissal was politically motivated due to his refusal to carry out questionable directives, such as surveilling protesters and interfering in Netanyahu's corruption trial, accusations the prime minister has denied.
Prime Minister Netanyahu announced this evening his decision to appoint Major General David Zini as the next head of the Shin Bet.
General Zini to announce that he cannot accept his appointment until the Supreme Court rules on the matter.
