English · Sole source

Former Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar is suing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for defamation, alleging Netanyahu spread false claims about his actions before the October 7 Hamas attack. Bar claims he repeatedly warned Netanyahu of escalating threats, but his warnings were ignored as Netanyahu pursued a policy of restraint toward Hamas. The lawsuit seeks the disclosure of intelligence documents, arguing that the truth about the events leading up to the massacre must be revealed in court due to the lack of an official inquiry.
