Ex-Shin Bet Chief Sues Netanyahu for $800,000 Over Hamas Attack Blame

Former Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar is suing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for NIS 3 million in defamation over accusations that Bar knew about the October 7th Hamas attack and failed to act. Bar denies the claims, calling them a "blood libel," and acknowledges Shin Bet failures while asserting Netanyahu is trying to shift blame. The lawsuit details Bar's account of the night before the attack, including intelligence shared and actions taken, and references Bar's prior warnings to Netanyahu about Hamas throughout 2023.
