The Israeli government is exposing a malicious Deep State plot by the domestic security forces to bring down the Netanyahu government, similar to the US Deep State campaign against Donald Trump 2016-2024. At the center of the plot is the head of the Shin Bet security service Ronen Bar, who refuses to leave his post after being fired by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Observers had been mystified by the massive security failures of the vaunted Israeli secret service on October 7, leading to antisemitic conspiracy theories claiming Israel actually was responsible for the horrific terror attacks taht killed over 1200 people. Now, with the recent revelations, it seems more likely the famed Shin Bet security service has been infiltrated by leftist anti-Netanyahu forces allied with the failed Biden Regime, which also funded the anti-Netanyahu protest movement and lawfare.
“The extreme behavior we are now seeing by Ronen Bar is the behavior of people who realize the castle walls have been breached,” security expert Moshe Ashkenazi told Danny Seaman on JNS. “They are now retreating and are fighting the last war for the remnants of this power they have gained, and are reluctant to relinquish.”
The latest blow-up began when Shin Bet head Ronen Bar had an agent arrested over the Passover weekend for allegedly for stealing classified material and leaking it to journalist Amit Segal and Diaspora Minister Amichai Chikli.
Channel 12 journalist Amit Segal published the leak, revealing that Ronen Bar was trying to frame Israeli police for alleged right-wing extremism, which Shin Bet whistleblowers have said are made-up allegations meant to attack conservative Police Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. Now, the Lod district court lifted a gag order on the criminal investigation Tuesday, which “critics called the latest abuse of power by its topmost officers against the government”, JNS wrote.
Prime Minister Netanyahu called the leak “another shocking and dangerous” occurrence under Shin Bet head Ronen Bar, who has “turned parts of the Shin Bet into a private militia of the deep state that undermines the rule of law and the foundations of democracy.”
Minister Amichai Chikli, who received the whistleblower’s leak and attended his hearing, called the officer a “hero.” Shin Bet director “Ronen Bar is the one who’s betrayed the public’s trust and is unhinged,” Chikli told reporters.
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said: “The State of Israel is on a slippery and dangerous slope towards the loss of democracy and the dictatorial rule of a security and legal junta. We will not let this pass and return Israel to the people.”
Justice Minister Yariv Levin said, “The head of the Shin Bet acts as if he has a private intelligence organization that can conduct a political hunting campaign.” This is “not new,” he said, but “more and more brave people are coming out and revealing what is really happening here today and what has happened here in secret for many years.”
Writing in Israel Hayom, Journalist Shirit Avitan Cohen listed the many recent leaks to the media from the security services damaging the Netanyahu government, and the absence of criminal investigations around those leaks, while critics of Ronen Bar like Netanyahu staffer Eli Feldstein, who leaked details of Bar’s failures on Oct. 7 and now faces life in prison, and the anonymous Shin Bet whistleblower, are immediately and harshly punished.
“It looks like selective enforcement,” Cohen wrote.
The Natanyahu cabinet voted to remove Ronen Bar as head of the Shin Bet, but has been stymied by the Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara and the High Court of Justice, which earlier this month suspended indefinitely the government’s decision to fire him.
Attorney General Baharav-Miara claims the government cannot fire Bar because it would undermine investigations into charges Qatar paid off members of the government and even the editor in chief of the Jerusalem Post.
Netanyahu claims the Qatar investigation is part of a coup by Shin Bet and Baharav-Miara to oust him from power.
Among Bar’s denfenders at the Supreme Court is the left-wing NGO Movement for Quality Government, which was at the center of the protest movement against Netanyahu that left Israel critcially distracted before the Oct. 7 genocide attempt. Journalist Caroline Glick has charged the Movement for Quality Government was funded by the Biden Regime, as The Gateway Pundit reported.
