Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar issues a strongly worded letter blasting Likud MK Tally Gotliv, who has repeatedly pushed a conspiracy theory about a meeting between the Mossad and Shikma Bressler, a leader of the protest movement against the government’s contentious judicial overhaul, on October 3, days before Hamas’s October 7 onslaught.
In the highly unusual letter, Bar accuses Gotliv of publishing the personal details of two employees of security services, endangering their and their families’ lives.
“National security cannot be used as a tool in a foolish attempt to get public attention,” Bar writes, saying Gotliv broke both criminal and civil law with her posts on X.
He also says the lawmaker “knowingly and intentionally” harmed national security.
