Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dismissed the head of the country's security service for his failure to prevent the October 7, 2023, attack by Hamas.
The Israeli cabinet met yesterday evening to officially approve the early dismissal of Ronen Bar, who was appointed in October 2021 to a five-year term as head of the Shin Bet.
Netanyahu announced days ago that he would dismiss Bar, saying that there is a persistent distrust between them that had grown over time.
The move sparked outrage and further ignited anti-government demonstrations in Jerusalem, as thousands of Israelis joined forces with protesters opposing Israel's new offensive in Gaza.
The Shin Bet is Israel's domestic intelligence agency and plays a key role in the war. Its activities and membership are closely guarded state secrets.
About 1,200 people were killed and 251 were taken hostage during the attacks on October 7, 2023. Israel responded with a massive military offensive, which has killed more than 48,500 Palestinians.
