The High Court of Justice grants a request by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to file his affidavit in response to that of Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar on Sunday, in the framework of petitions against the government decision to fire Bar last month.

The court had instructed Netanyahu to file his affidavit by today, but the prime minister’s lawyers requested an extension due to Bar’s own delay in filing his court statement, as well as scheduling difficulties for Netanyahu’s lawyer.
