The head of the “Shin Bet”, Ronin Bar, was not the first senior security official to be removed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The latter during his six states in power was dismissed all security ministers, the last of which was Joaf Galant at the end of last year. While resignations and resignations since the outbreak of the war on October 7, 2023, bearing a different nature and different backgrounds from its predecessors; Where a number of those responsible for failure decided to assume their responsibility and resigned on their own, or through the pressures practiced by the political level, led by Netanyahu, the decision to dismiss a bar came yesterday, within the framework of a wide context of attempts by the government in general, and Netanyahu in particular, to evade responsibility for failure.
The dismissal of Bar and Gallant, was preceded by a series of resignations in the head of the military-security structure, at the forefront of these was the Chief of Staff, Herzi Haleifi, Head of the Military Intelligence Division (Aman), Aharon Halifa, the commander of the southern region, Yaron Fenkelman, Head of Operations Division, Oudid Bassiuk, and the commander of the Gaza Band, Avi Rosphield, in addition to six officials at the professional level- The “Shin Bet” device.

As for those who did not actually bear the responsibility, it is Netanyahu himself, whose circles justify his resignation as “an elected public, and it is possible to express lack of confidence in it in the polls”, as reported by the newspaper “Yediot Aharonot”. In reference to the justification of Netanyahu and his clarification, the reason for his decision to dismiss a bar, the return as he called him “lack of confidence.”
Over a year and a half, Netanyahu did not find a good reason to dismiss a bar, until the “Shin Bet” began to open a series of investigations into security leaks cases in which employees of Netanyahu’s office were involved and close to him, with the aim of misleading Israeli public opinion, and persuading them of the necessity of continuing the war and not reaching an exchange deal.
However, the straw, which divided the camel’s back, is a sensitive security issue that also relates to the Netanyahu office, according to the “Wint” website, which was “a major reason behind the decision to dismiss.” This issue is generally added to the “Shin Bet” investigations regarding the seventh of October, whose results were published early this month, in which the agency criticized the Israeli political level; He considered that “the Netanyahu government adopted a policy of containing Hamas.”
In conclusion, this issue in which the Shin Bet and the police are currently investigating, provokes the concern of Netanyahu and its employees, and therefore he considers that he was “lost his confidence in Par,” as he said in a video tape yesterday.
And on this background, it is now expected if the dismissal passes actually without obstacles, to be appointed behind Paul, whose basic mission is to achieve the interest of Netanyahu and protect his political future threatened from several directions. Although it is not clear and not exactly known by Serth Bar, one of the main candidates for the caliphate is the high security official whose name is hidden and is referred to in the media with the letter “Mim”.
Mim topped the titles, as a bar, and the character that Netanyahu replaced the last after being excluded from the negotiation staff on the exchange and ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas. According to a report reported by the newspaper “Israel Hume”, today, Monday, “Mim is known for loyalty to Netanyahu, and the latter trusts him, although he played a role in the failure of the seventh of October as a bar.”
“Mim” descends, according to the newspaper, from one of the Haridi settlements, and he is the son of the Thalakal family. She recruited to “the Shin Bet” in 1994, as a security guard, and then became a focus (security coordinator) in the Hebron region during the second intifada. Over the years, “he was appointed in a series of leadership positions in the device in the West Bank and Jerusalem, even an official responsible for the device in the two regions.” Among the positions he also held was “the leadership of a brigade in the Shin Bet Operations Division.”
Netanyahu asked Mim, according to the newspaper, to extend his term with the start of the war, until the beginning of this year, and after the end of his term, the course of his resignation began, but Netanyahu decided to appoint him at the head of the delegation of the negotiations.
