"The Shin Bet is a state organization that carries out its missions according to law. Its strength and resilience lie in its values," said Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar. Bar criticized his predecessor, Nadav Argaman, after Argaman threatened to disclose sensitive information about Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Bar emphasized the apolitical nature of the Shin Bet and distanced himself from discourse that does not align with their values and actions. Tensions between Netanyahu and the Shin Bet have escalated, with Netanyahu accusing Argaman of blackmail and filing a police complaint against him. Israel Police Commissioner Danny Levy has instructed to 'examine' Argaman's statements for a potential investigation.
