Weighing in on the arrest and investigation into a Shin Bet official, Democrats chief Yair Golan says it is Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar’s duty to investigate the leak of classified information.

He says that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “doesn’t want the Shin Bet to protect Israel, he wants the Shin Bet to protect him.”

“When Netanyahu gets in trouble with Qatar he tries to fire the investigator. He will do everything to save himself. Himself and his mouthpieces. Netanyahu is dangerous to Israel.”
