Israeli leadership is facing accountability for the failings surrounding the October 7 massacre, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu proposing the dismissal of Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar. This marks the first time a Shin Bet chief has been fired during their term, sparking outrage and protests. Critics accuse Netanyahu of undermining state institutions and using Bar's dismissal to deflect blame from his government. While there are concerns about political interference, many argue that Bar's removal is necessary to restore public confidence and prevent future security failures. The country needs leadership focused on national security rather than self-preservation.
