JERUSALEM (AA) - Israel’s Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s request to lift a freeze on his government’s decision to dismiss Ronen Bar, head of the Shin Bet security agency, official media reported.

"This isn't what we're fighting for," said Ohad, a right-winger who has spent 12 months doing reserve duty since Oct. 7, 2023.

The decision by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to fire Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar is likely to further erode Israel’s rule of law and democratic principles.
