The Israeli Supreme Court issued a ban on Friday temporarily freezing the rejection of the head of the domestic intelligence service as the protesters returned to the streets for the fourth day.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced last week that he lost his trust in Shin Bet Bet Bet, Ronen Bar and intended to reject him, which encouraged tens of thousands to join the demonstrations in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv this week protesting for discharge, which critics considered as an attempt to undermine key state institutions.
“I look at the end of Israel’s path as we have known in the past. We are very concerned that these are the last days of Israel as democracy,” said Uri Arnin, an entrepreneur who joined the protest outside the residence in Jerusalem Netanyahu.
“We are here to try to change this course, but the chances are not very high,” he said.
Netanyahu, with certainty in parliament, was strengthened by the return of the Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, managed to throw out protests. But they underline divisions in the Israeli society that have deepened from the return of Netanyahu to power in late 2022.
The dismissal of the bar came after two years of hostility between Netanyahu supporters and the elements of the security and defense institution, which was worsened by the failure that provided Hamas’ attack from October 7, 2023, the worst security disaster in Israel’s history.
As the Battle of Bet’s Battle spread, the Israeli public Emiter Kan reported that the proposal did not trust the Attorney General Gali Baharav Miara, the frequent goal of the Government white, on Sunday, put on the agenda for a regular weekly cabinet meeting.
The Prime Minister’s office refused to comment.
Release based on ‘unfounded’ quotes: bar
The Supreme Court’s verdict will allow the court to consider the petitions initiated against the release, approved by the cabinet late on Thursday, with a decision no later than 8 April, according to a statement published on the Court’s website.
At least, he had already indicated that he would resign before the end of his term, accepting responsibility for the failure of Shin Bet to prevent an attack under the leadership of Hamas.
However, in a letter to the Government on Thursday, he said that his release, which followed after weeks of tension for investigating charges of bribing Katar and assistants at Netanyahu’s office, based on unfounded accusations and motivated other, illegal problems.
The protesters marched in Jerusalem on Wednesday to express their concerns for hostages still holding on to Gaza and disgusted with Israel’s guidance, and one woman said, “We want them at home, and we want democracy to be cured.”
On Friday, even before the Supreme Court’s ban, he participated in the assessment of planning with the head of the army as the Israeli troops moved to Gaza after a renovated Israeli bombing of the enclave.
Even before the war in Gaza, there were mass protests because of plans Netanyahu to suppress the power of the judiciary, which is a move he justified as a necessary verification of the judicial excess committee, but who considered protesters a direct threat to democracy.
In addition to battles around the judicial reform, Netanyahu was obliged to give a regular testimony in the case because of the corruption allegation he denies.
The protests, based on the earlier waves of Anti -Thrad’s demonstration, mixed with the actions of the supporters of Israeli hostages still in Gaza, who were shocked by the decision to continue bombing the Palestinian endlave after weeks of the troupe and sending of the troops back.
