The affidavit submitted by Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar to the High Court of Justice is a thunderous alarm call for the Israeli public. Bar explicitly informed the court that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu demanded personal loyalty from him and sought to use the Shin Bet's capabilities for his personal and political benefit. Bar's public affidavit alone is enough to leave readers stunned, as the accusations are now being made explicitly and openly by the Shin Bet chief himself. The implications of Bar's affidavit are significant, as it carries the legal weight of courtroom testimony and includes objective evidence supporting his claims.
