Gantz says ‘heartbreaking’ court rumpus a window into government-wrought rifts

Sam Sokol is a former political correspondent at The Times of Israel. He was previously a reporter for the Jerusalem Post, Jewish Telegraphic Agency and Haaretz. He is the author of "Putin’s Hybrid War and the Jews"

National Unity party chief Benny Gantz decries protest that loudly disrupted a High Court hearing on the termination of Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, saying the chaos presents a picture “of a state and a society being torn apart” and a “government that does everything to tear us apart.”

In a post on Instagram, Gantz calls the incident “heartbreaking.”
