Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar announced his resignation effective June 15, 2025, stating, 'After years on many fronts, in one night, on the southern front, the sky fell. All systems collapsed. The Shin Bet also failed to provide warning. Given the magnitude of the event, all of us who chose public service and protecting state security as our life's mission, and failed to provide security on that day, must bow our heads humbly before the murdered, the fallen, the wounded, the hostages and their families, and act accordingly. Everyone. Implementing responsibility in practice is an inseparable part of personal example and our leaders' legacy, and we have no legitimacy to lead without it.'
