Cabinet fires Shin Bet chief; PM claims lack of trust in Bar, who calls move invalid

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet voted unanimously in the early hours of Friday morning to dismiss Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, the premier’s office announced.

Bar’s final day will be April 10, with the government moving up his dismissal after initially scheduling it for April 20, though Netanyahu’s office said Bar could be gone before then if ministers approve a permanent replacement.

The move marked the first time in Israeli history that the government has fired the head of the domestic security agency.
