The Movement for Quality Government in Israel has filed a petition with the High Court of Justice against the planned dismissal of Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, Channel 13 reports.

The organization asked that the court issue an interim order to prevent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from convening his cabinet to vote on Bar’s dismissal.

The petition is the first of several that are expected to be lodged with the High Court in the coming days.

Earlier today, Opposition Leader Yair Lapid said that the opposition parties will also petition the court over Bar’s ouster and were working together “to stop this reckless act.”
