Supreme Court President Justice Yitzhak Amit emphasized at the beginning of his ruling regarding Ronen Bar's dismissal that the Shin Bet chief's announcement of his intention to resign does not eliminate the need to resolve the dispute between the parties. This, he said, is because the government's decision is "unprecedented in the history of the State of Israel." Supreme Court Deputy President Justice Noam Sohlberg dissented, arguing that the petitions became moot since the government canceled the dismissal, and the established law is that moot petitions are not adjudicated.
