In a legal declaration filed to the High Court of Justice, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vehemently denied claims made by former Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar that he was fired for personal or political reasons. Netanyahu called Bar's allegations 'total lies' and provided direct quotations from meetings to refute the claims. The prime minister also accused Bar of bearing responsibility for failing to prevent a Hamas-led invasion and massacre in 2023. The High Court froze the decision to dismiss Bar and is currently reviewing the case.
