Fmr. Shin Bet chief Bar to sue Netanyahu for defamation, demands release of documents

Former Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar said he intends to file a defamation lawsuit against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This comes in response to Netanyahu's accusation that Bar is trying to shift blame for his own failures on October 7.

Bar has demanded "the disclosure of documents and the schedule of Netanyahu's meetings with the defense establishment and foreign officials," and said he will summon as witnesses, members of Netanyahu's staff, and aides who assisted in what he called a "manipulative campaign."

"Prime Minister Netanyahu has launched an unrestrained campaign of incitement against the former Shin Bet Chief, a campaign detached from reality," Bar said, accusing Netanyahu of "attempting to deflect blame from himself by leveling accusations against the very person who warned him in real time."

Bar said he accused Netanyahu of "Lies, the distortion of facts, the manipulation of transcripts, and the dissemination of misleading information to the public,” concluding, "Victory is achieved through a preemptive strike against the enemy without, not against the security forces within."

Netanyahu said he has instructed that a defamation lawsuit be filed over the matter and that he never meets or speaks with a foreign intelligence chief without Israeli counterparts present.

Netanyahu accused the "left-wing media" of waging a "vile, deceitful campaign" to shift blame for Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar's failures onto him, saying Bar held numerous conversations on the night of October 7 but did not update the prime minister, alert rapid-response teams or evacuate the Nova party, sending only a small "Tequila" team.

The prime minister concluded by writing that hostile foreign states and actors, including Arab nations, stand behind the claims in order to topple his government and replace it with a coalition led by Eisenkot, Yair Golan and Lieberman, calling the election a choice between "the Right or Palestine."
