The Legal Advisor to the Government, C.To me, Bahar Miyara, Trying to stop the Prime Minister's move to fire the head of the Shin Bet Ronen Bar.
In a letter she sent this evening (Sunday) to the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the claim in the Rabbi explained: "You cannot fire the head of the Shin Bet until the investigation into the factual and legal basis underlying your decision is complete and you are allowed to deal with the issue at this time.""
She justified her words: "This is due to the extraordinary sensitivity of the matter, its urgency, the fear that the procedure is tainted with illegality and conflict of interest, and considering that the position of head of the General Security Service is not a personal position of trust for the Prime Minister.".

Minister of Justice, Yariv Levin, calls not to comply with the demand of the Legal Advisor to the Government to stop the dismissal of the head of the Shin Bet.
""The Shin Bet law explicitly states that the government is authorized to terminate the service head's term before the end of his term. The legal advisor to the government is also supposed to be familiar with this law. In case anyone is confused, Israel is a democracy, and everyone in it, including the advisor, is subject to the law.".
Minister Levin emphasized: "We must not surrender to threats or attempts to deprive the government of its authority. It was the surrender to violence and refusal in March 2023 that brought us to the current state of lack of governance. Now is a testing time for all of us. The time has come for a democratic Israel in which decisions are made by elected officials and not by jurists elevated from the people.",
Chairman of Otzma Yehudit, Itamar Ben Gvir, responded to the Attorney General's announcement that the prime minister cannot fire the head of the Shin Bet. "Since the legal seamstress to the government is herself in the midst of an impeachment process, perhaps to remind her that 'conflict of interest' also applies to her actions opposing the government and its head. The time has come to put an end to the rule of the Deep State, and first and foremost - to accelerate the dismissal of the Attorney General.".
Organization'Combat theory'' He responded: "The attorney general opposes the dismissal of the head of the Shin Bet, and the head of the Shin Bet will protect the attorney general in the event that they try to fire her. There are two political players here who are concerned with one thing - preserving the power of the left in the state's institutions and controlling its citizens.".
