Since Tuesday in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, tens of thousands of Israelis have been protesting, who, in Bar's announced release, see an assassination of independent institutions beyond government control.
This is 1 of the elements criticized by the opposition of Netanjah's policy, including, among others, the improvement of the judiciary limiting the power of the courts to the benefit of parliament and government or the intention to release the lawyer General of the Gaul Baharaw-Miary. “ Israel will either stay a liberal democracy or will not survive,” said Jair Golan, who heads the left-wing organization of the Democrats. “Let’s throw this government into the dump of history,” he added.
— This may be 1 of the last protests in democratic Israel, as warned by erstwhile head of Shin Betu Karmi Gilon, addressing the crowds who are standing before the Prime Minister's office late at night.
Netanjah as the reason for Bar's dismissal described the failure of "personal and professional" trust. The head of Shin Betu does not attend the night gathering of the government where his resignation is to be voted on. He published a letter to the ministers, in which he stressed that the reason for his dismissal given by the Prime Minister was "unwarranted" and a cover-up for completely another "external and fundamentally incorrect motives that are intended to undermine the ability of Shin Betu to fulfil its role". He warned that Netanjah's actions undermine "internal and external" State security.
Critics indicate reason for dismissal
Critics accuse the Prime Minister that 1 of the real reasons for Bar's dismissal is led by his service to analyse a scandal known as Quatargate. This is an increasingly wide ellipse of scandal about alleged business relationships of respective close associates of Netanjah with Qatar. The arabian state has not maintained diplomatic relations with Israel and has sponsored Hamas for many years.
The bar noted that it was a complicated and delicate investigation, but the dismissal of the chief of Shin Betu during this investigation points to ‘external considerations or the most serious possible conflict of interest’.
The dismissal of Bar without completing the essential procedures was opposed by the Israeli political prosecutor-general Baharaw-Miara. The government rejected her objections and had already initiated a procedure to remove her as well. According to the media, her dismissal can be voted by ministers on Sunday.
Bar's smoke sparked the largest wave of protests in Israel in months. Demonstrators besides protest against resuming raids on the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, pointing out that this decision threatens the lives of 24 hostages, inactive imprisoned by Palestinian terrorist organizations.
Most argue the resignation
Netanyahu critics accuse him of returning to war being a politically motivated step. The truce with Hamas was opposed by the extremist judaic organization Force, which after its conclusion came out of a shaky coalition, and on Tuesday announced that she was returning to government.
Netanjahu replied that putting specified ones on was a duplication of Hamas propaganda. On Wednesday, he besides published a series of comments explaining that the actions of his democratically elected right-wing cabinet are sabotaged by a left-wing bureaucratic establishment that uses judicial power for this purpose.
The divisions between Israelis are deepening, I fear we are heading for a civilian war," said the retired president of the ultimate Courts of Israel Aharon Barak in an interview with Ynet.
51 percent of Israelis argue Bar's resignation and 32 percent support it, according to a station survey published on Thursday Channel 12. 46 percent of respondents admitted that they trusted Bar more than Netanjah. The other opinion was expressed by 32 percent of respondents.
