Shin Bet Chief's Testimony Sparks Tel Aviv Protest Against Netanyahu

Shin Bet Chief’s Testimony Sparks Tel Aviv Protest Against Netanyahu

APRIL 22, 2025

Thousands of Israelis protested in Tel Aviv, demanding Prime Minister Netanyahu’s resignation following shocking testimony from Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar about political interference.

Thousands of Israelis demonstrated in Tel Aviv, demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli media reported.

Al-Jazeera quoted Channel 12 as reporting that Israeli police forcibly dispersed several demonstrators on Monday evening and arrested several after some protesters lay down on the ground during the rally.

The demonstration came after Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar testified that Netanyahu had asked him to target anti-Netanyahu protesters.

Bar’s testimony to Israel’s Supreme Court was described as “shocking,” as it revealed that Netanyahu had pressured him to use Shin Bet for political purposes, including persecuting protesters against him and attempting to postpone his corruption trial under the guise of security concerns.

I don't think it's an accident that many of these autocratic moves are coming in stereo.

Hamas leader Sinwar, October 7 insured that wouldn’t happen.

Not unlike the “brilliant” Al qaeda strategist bin Laden, who insured the two term presidency of George W bush, invasion of Iraq based on a lie, and helping mold the SC we have today, which was sealed in 2016 and 2024.
