The Movement for Quality Government, which petitioned against the dismissal of Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, responded to the decision to cancel his termination, stating: 'The cancellation of the Shin Bet chief's dismissal is a cynical and transparent maneuver intended to prevent a landmark Supreme Court ruling.' The movement further stated that 'Netanyahu will not be allowed to evade judicial decision through tactical maneuvers. The Movement for Quality Government will appeal to the Supreme Court demanding to continue the hearing and issue a ruling that will protect civil rights and Israeli democracy.'
