Former Shin Bet chief Nadav Argaman expresses concern that the government’s plans for overhauling the judicial system could lead to severe fallout in the security agency.

“The big concern is that if these laws pass, Israel is on the verge of dictatorship,” he says in an interview with Channel 12’s investigative news program “Uvda” that is due to be aired in full this evening.

“And when Israel is on the verge of dictatorship, we may see organizations and systems disintegrate from within,” Argaman adds.

He warns that members of the Shin Bet and other security agencies who serve on a voluntary basis could stop doing so.
