Gideon Sa'ar and his party remain silent as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu moves to fire Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, causing divisions within the coalition and raising legal concerns. Sa'ar's silence is notable as other coalition party members express support for the decision. The timing of the decision is sensitive for Sa'ar, who recently announced an agreement to merge into the Likud party. The attempt to remove Bar is seen as connected to the issue of judicial reform, as Bar is responsible for ongoing investigations against people close to the prime minister. The government is expected to approve the decision despite the attorney-general's opinion.
