Candidates for the job of Shin Bet chief interviewed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have said that the question of their loyalty to the prime minister arose during the interview, according to Channel 13. This comes after the current Shin Bet chief, Ronen Bar, filed an affidavit alleging that he was fired for being insufficiently loyal to Netanyahu and for making decisions seen as hostile. The report states that in some recent interviews, Netanyahu discussed the ongoing struggle between the government and the judiciary.
