Netanyahu faces backlash over dismassal of Internal Security Chief

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faced renewed criticism on Friday over his controversial decision to dismiss internal security chief Ronen Bar. The country’s attorney general accused Netanyahu of having a “conflict of interest” in the matter. Netanyahu announced Bar’s dismissal two weeks ago, a move that sparked widespread protests. The controversy escalated, prompting the Supreme Court to swiftly suspend the decision, with a ruling on the matter now expected by April 8. Matthew-Mary Caruchet has the details.
