Government invites Ronen Bar to security cabinet meeting on hostages despite firing him
The security cabinet will convene this evening for deliberations on the hostages held by Hamas and renewed fighting in Gaza, according to Hebrew media reports.
The meeting was originally scheduled for Thursday night but delayed so the government could instead approve Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s motion to fire Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar.
Despite the vote to dismiss Bar and Netanyahu’s assertion that he has no trust in the Shin Bet head, the spymaster has been invited to take part in the security cabinet meeting.
