Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office calls the High Court's ruling on the Shin Bet chief 'puzzling' after an interim order is issued to keep him in his position. The ruling affirms the government's authority to remove the head of the spy agency, but the PMO disputes the judges' position. Netanyahu's office accuses the Attorney General of being motivated by a desire to prevent the chief's firing. Despite the ruling, Netanyahu will continue interviewing candidates to replace the current chief.
