Likud minister claims High Court has ‘no legal authority to interfere’ in Bar’s dismissal
Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi claims that the High Court of Justice has no right to interfere in the government’s decision to fire Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar after it issued a temporary injunction against the move.
“Ronen Bar will end his tenure on April 10 or earlier, with the appointment of a permanent head of the Shin Bet,” declares Karhi, a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party.
“You have no legal authority to interfere in this. This is the government’s authority,” he adds. “Your order is void.”
