Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accuses Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar of blackmail, escalating their feud. Netanyahu's accusation came in response to an interview with Bar's predecessor Nadav Argaman, who revealed that he has compromising information on the prime minister. Netanyahu has been working to oust Bar and shift blame for the failures that allowed for Hamas's October 7 attack. Bar is resisting the effort, fearing that Netanyahu will appoint a loyalist in his place. The feud has been complicated by an investigation into alleged ties between Netanyahu's aides and the Qatari government.
