The Israeli cabinet has scheduled a vote to fire Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, defying the Attorney General's Office. The motion to dismiss Bar cites Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's personal and professional distrust of him. The decision to dismiss Bar aims to override a previous government's resolution that requires a recommendation from an advisory committee for such dismissals. Critics fear that Netanyahu is seeking to replace Bar with a loyalist who will quash the Shin Bet's ongoing Qatar probe and politicize the country's security apparatuses.
