Former Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar announced on Sunday that he will file a defamation lawsuit against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Bar is demanding the disclosure of all documents, meeting schedules, and warnings provided to Netanyahu's office prior to the October 7th Hamas attacks.
Bar's legal action comes in response to what he described as an "unbridled incitement campaign" against him. He stated that he intends to sue Netanyahu for libel and is seeking to depose members of the Prime Minister's Office staff regarding the events leading up to the attack.
The lawsuit aims to reveal the information available to the Prime Minister and his staff concerning potential threats before October 7th. Bar seeks to present evidence in court that he believes will clarify his role and the information he conveyed.
