Opposition Leader Yair Lapid announces that his Yesh Atid party will petition the courts against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s planned dismissal of Shin Bet head Ronen Bar, arguing that the move is clearly meant “to sabotage a serious criminal investigation of the Prime Minister’s Office.”
The Shin Bet is currently looking into suspicions that top aides to the prime minister had improper ties to Qatar.
