Shin Bet Chiefs Testimony Sparks Tel Aviv Protest Against Netanyahu
APRIL 22, 2025
Thousands of Israelis protested in Tel Aviv, demanding Prime Minister Netanyahus 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.
Bars testimony to Israels 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.

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.
