Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu submitted to the Supreme Court his counter-affidavit to the harsh 'indictment' delivered by Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar. According to Netanyahu, 'Ronen Bar's claim that he warned about the war and alerted the entire system is false.' Netanyahu added in the affidavit that 'the claim that Ronen Bar provided 'powerful warnings' regarding Gaza is a lie. In fact, throughout 2023, Ronen Bar pushed for strengthening Gaza's economic situation and avoiding assassinations to maintain quiet.'
