Israelis oppose the firing of Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar by 51-32%; trust Bar more than Netanyahu by 46-32%
Fifty-one percent of Israelis oppose the firing of Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, compared to 32% who back his dismissal, a Channel 12 opinion poll finds.
Forty-six percent say they trust Bar more than they trust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while 32% trust Netanyahu more than Bar.
Some 45% say they believe Bar is being fired over the “Qatargate” investigation, and 31% do not.
Fifty percent do not believe that Bar opened the “Qatargate” probe to avoid being fired, as Netanyahu has charged, while 18% do.
