Government’s decision to cancel Bar’s dismissal is ‘cynical trick’ designed to prevent High Court ruling, watchdog group asserts

The Movement for Quality Government in Israel describes the government’s decision to cancel its dismissal of Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar as a “cynical and transparent trick designed to stop a principled decision by the High Court.”
The decision will likely mean that the court will not rule on petitions that had been filed asking it to cancel the decision to fire Bar.
But The Movement for Quality Government says it will regardless request the court issue a ruling “that will protect the rights of the citizen and Israeli democracy.”
