At all times, but especially in an existential war like this, the Prime Minister must have full confidence in the head of the Shin Bet.

Because of this ongoing lack of trust, I have decided to bring a government proposal this week to conclude his tenure as head of the Shin Bet. And let me be clear \u2013 I have great appreciation for the men and women of the Shin Bet. They perform dedicated and vital work for the security of us all. As Prime Minister I am responsible for the Shin Bet, and I am certain that this step is necessary to rehabilitate the organization, achieve all our war objectives, and prevent the next disaster,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prime Minister Netanyahu met with ISA (Shin Bet) Director Ronen Bar and informed him that he will bring a proposal to the government this week to conclude his tenure.
