National Unity leader Benny Gantz says the decision to fire Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar is a “mark of Cain” on all ministers who vote in favor.
“The dismissal of the Shin Bet chief for political reasons is a mark of Cain on every government minister who raised his hand tonight, and will be remembered with eternal shame.”
The Democrats leader Yair Golan says that Bar’s letter to the cabinet is “an unprecedented indictment.”
“This letter should shake every home in Israel because one of the people most responsible for our security says in a clear voice — the Prime Minister’s conduct is a direct danger to the security of the state.”
