The accusations, made in a sworn statement to the Supreme Court, are the latest twist in a legal and political saga pitting Netanyahu against Ronen Bar, whose dismissal, announced by the government last month, triggered mass protests in Israel.
Following a lengthy hearing, the Supreme Court on April 8 called on the government and the attorney general to find a compromise on the issue, giving them until after the Jewish Passover holiday, which has just ended.
An affidavit the security chief submitted to the court on Monday, contains several accusations against Netanyahu, including that he had asked Bar for personal loyalty.
The security agency boss also said Netanyahu told him “on more than one occasion” that he expected Shin Bet to take action against Israeli citizens involved in anti-government protests, “with a particular focus on monitoring the protests’ financial backers”.
He also denied accusations from the prime minister and his associates that Shin Bet failed to warn Netanyahu and other security agencies in time about the October 7, 2023, attack.
“Ronen Bar submitted a false affidavit to the Supreme Court today, which will be thoroughly refuted in due course,“ it said.
It added “there is nothing to prevent interviews with candidates for the post, without announcing an appointment”.
