The High Court of Justice grants Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar’s request for an extension in filing a formal statement detailing his allegations against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but gives him only until midday tomorrow to do so.
The court expresses frustration with Bar, however, for having filed his request for an extension on Sunday, the deadline for submission, and without detailing his reasons.
It says it is only partially agreeing to his request due to “reasons of a practical nature alone.”
