A new investigation has escalated tensions between the Shin Bet and the Israeli government. The investigation revolves around leaked documents and allegations of illegal intervention in police operations on the Temple Mount. The Shin Bet denies conducting an investigation, but asserts its right to oppose terrorism. The Police Investigations Department has requested a gag order on the investigation into the leak. The tensions come amidst the Qatargate investigation and the government's decision to fire the head of the Shin Bet, Ronen Bar. These events have created immense tension between the Shin Bet, Attorney-General, government, police, and High Court.
