On behalf of former Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, it was stated that he intends to file a defamation lawsuit against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and demands disclosure of testimonies and documents related to intelligence provided to him before October 7. "Bar demands disclosure of documents and Netanyahu's meeting schedule with the security establishment and foreign entities," it was reported. It was further claimed that he will summon Netanyahu's office staff and aides to testify, "who assisted and are assisting in the manipulative campaign." Bar also said that "Netanyahu launched an unbridled incitement campaign disconnected from reality. As evidence of warnings he received begins to surface, he is trying to divert the fire." Netanyahu has immunity by virtue of his position, so it is unclear whether such a lawsuit will reach a court hearing.
