| Israeli Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara says the prime minister isn’t allowed to appoint a new internal security agency chief after the government decided to sack Bar. “According to the decision of the Supreme Court, it is prohibited to take any action that harms the position of the head of the Shin Bet, Ronen Bar,” she said in a message to Netanyahu published by a spokesperson. “It is prohibited to appoint a new head of Shin Bet, and interviews for the position should not be held.” The move to sack Bar has been appealed by opposition parties. Friday’s appeal also mentioned that Bar’s dismissal took place after a Shin Bet investigation highlighted, according to the plaintiffs, “that the political leadership bears responsibility for the October 7 disaster”. ---- Source: AJE Live blog |
