AI Summary:
Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar will step down on 15 June following a dispute with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu attempted to fire Bar last month over what he said was a crisis of confidence surrounding Hamas’ attack. The Shin Bet is probing ties between Netanyahu’s office and Qatar over the Gaza war. Israel’s Supreme Court froze the firing of Bar following multiple legal challenges against the move. Bar filed a document with the Supreme Court last week accusing Netanyahu of trying to exploit the power of the Shin Bet for political and personal gain. Netanyahu has repeatedly claimed that a “deep state” of civil servants and unelected judges is out to topple him.
