Deputy AG: Any move to fire Shin Bet chief requires legal review by attorney general

Deputy Attorney General Gil Limon stated that any decision to remove Shin Bet Director Ronen Bar must be reviewed by the attorney general. Limon emphasized the need for proper procedure and compliance with legal orders. The Attorney General's Office is not aware of any intention or decision to end Bar's tenure. This comes after a criminal investigation was ordered into alleged ties between Netanyahu's aides and Qatar, led by the Shin Bet and the police. Bar has also faced calls for his dismissal over the investigation into stolen top-secret documents.
