ronen bar, the head of the Israeli domestic secret service Shin Bet, announced his resignation from June 15, 2024. The resignation is a direct consequence of the failures of his authority during the tense Hamas massacre on October 7, 2023. Before that, Bar had already signaled that he wanted to step back without calling a precise date. This reports Radio Ennepe Ruhr

The Israeli government decided to dismiss bar in March 2024. However, the Supreme Court decided that he had to stay in office for the time being. The resignation of Bar comes at a time when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, after the devastating Hamas terrorist attack, has lost confidence in him. This decision led to nationwide mass protests in Israel, since many critics Netanyahu accused of not taking personal responsibility for the political and military failure during the massacre.

political turbulence and internal conflicts

The allegations against Netanyahu are tightened by an ongoing examination of the secret service, which also illuminates its role in the events. He is also under pressure because of a possible conflict of interest, since Shin Bet investigates confidants from him. In another context, Qatar is involved in the indirect discussions with the organization as a supporter of Hamas.

Despite his announced withdrawal,

bar will continue to take part in the current procedure of the Supreme Court on the independence of the authority. This could have far -reaching implications for the future orientation and functioning of the Israeli secret service.

international reactions and the IGH

In January, a ban on work for UNRWA came into force, but the organization continues its activities. Saar described the IGH hearing as a "circus" that aims to politicize the legal process and pursue Israel. The goal should aim to rob Israel of his right to self -defense. Nevertheless, the UN General Assembly has commissioned the IGH with an expert opinion in order to clarify Israel's obligations as a occupying power. More than 40 countries have already announced that it will make statements, which increases the noticeable international attention.
