A sworn statement by the chief of services with dangerous claims of Netanyahu ignited Israel
Bar claims that the attempt at his dismissal was not based on professional reasons, but was related to the Bar’s refusal to satisfy Netanyahu’s demands and to be faithful first to him, then the law. Netanyahu replied for hours and called the claims « lie ». « Even this reason alone requires the termination of his post, » said a message from Netanyahu’s office about the sworn declaration that showed that Bar failed « terribly ». He is again insisted that Bar could prevent October 7, as he knew about the settling attack and did not warn the prime minister’s military secretary in a timely manner – a thesis that the government has been opening for some time.
The words of the director of counterintelligence, whose unprecedented dismissal link also caused demonstrations, was stopped by the Supreme Court, but still echoed in Israel a day and a half later.
What exactly hard bar
The declaration submitted to the prosecutor’s office consists of 8 pages of public application and 31 classified. Documents have been added to the applications to support his claims. It is not known what the documents are; Bar says Netanyahu’s requests went when his military secretary and the transcript were no longer at meetings.

Even only the unclassified part of the oath declaration roused the spirits. In it, Bar claims that the desire to be removed from power has manifested itself over a year after the attack. He quoted a series of events between November 2024 and February 2025, which, in his opinion, seemed to have caused the prime minister’s actions against him.
- These include investigations by Shin Beth for the leakage of secret army documents in the media and possible links between Netanyahu and Qatar assistants (an investigation that has gained citizenship in Israeli media such as Qatargate), as well as an investigation by Shin Beth for their own gaps. And according to the latter, the government ignored warnings before the October 7 attack.
- Just In December began a process against Netanyahu for corruptionS Bar claims that he had by signing a request aimed at preventing Netanyahu’s continuous testimony in the trial against him (with reference to security reasons, whose observance would make the natural course of the case impossible).
- The director of Shin Beth was clearly said that he should obey Netanyahu, not the law and the Supreme Court, in a constitutional crisis.
- Bar also says that Netanyahu has asked for services to act against anti -government protesters (the constitutional crisis he is talking about is related to the protests). « I was clearly given to understand » the need to investigate the « financing protests », continuing, given the people who organized the mass refusals of reservists in 2023 in 2023 as part of the protest against the contested one now – judicial reform, in practice, restricting the Supreme Court.
He explains that in his words he is led by « deep concern for the State of Israel ».

He rejected allegations that he and Shin Beth knew earlier about Hamas’s plans about the attack on October 7th.
Shin Beth is leading the Qatargate investigation, at the center of Netanyahu’s assistants. Bar describes as an « untenable » idea of dismissing the counterintelligence leader in the middle of an investigation, suggesting that people on a salary of Qatar simultaneously work in the « Holy Saint of the decision -making process in Israel », especially while Qatar participated as an intermediary in the negotiations between Israel and Hamas.
It is not at a professional level, but because of the expectation of personal loyalty on my part to the Prime Minister.

Dispute about democracy or “deep state”
Netanyahu’s advocates have rejected criticism that he has mastered important institutions to secure power at the expense of Israeli democracy, and connect a bar with suspected attempts to become a « private militia of the deep state. » Bar was accused by Netanyahu, along with others in the services, for the failures that led to October 7 and the Hamas attack with 1,200 casualties, unleashed the war in Gaza, which killed more than 50,000 Palestinians.

According to Israeli media, however, a recent report by Shin Beth states, along with the responsibility of the service, and that of the Prime Minister for the events on October 7.
The Israeli government supported Netanyahu, approved by the dismissal of a bar a few weeks ago. The Supreme Court is to be ruled on the case after hearing the arguments on April 8 by regulators and opposition MPs, who said the dismissal of a bar was in violation of the proper process and was tainted by a conflict of interest.
A month later, power tries to manage the damage. The Finance Minister of Netanyahu, the far -right Bezalel Smotrich, sent an open letter to Shin Beth’s staff, accusing Bar of instilling Has in the service and assuring her workers that he had said and he would not tarnish their work. A day earlier, Smotrich caused an avalanche of commentary that it was time to say the truth: the release of dozens of hostages to Gaza was not the most important task of the government in the conflict with Hamas.
| The bar itself stated that he was ready to withdraw before the end of his term. And on Monday, he said he would soon indicate the date he was thinking of leaving, but it is more important to him what the court will decide after the requests that he should not be fired. The organization of relatives of the hostage killed in Gaza, who defends the power thesis of a « total victory » over Hamas, announced this afternoon that Bar promised its members to withdraw until May 15 and asked him to obey the deadline so as not to harm Israeli society. |
Hours after October 7, Netanyahu assured that he would not resign and initially transferred responsibility for what happened to the army and services. Subsequently, he took a step back, but his relationship with a bar – which was also part of the negotiation team to release the hostages – apparently worsened a year after the war began.
