Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he will seek the dismissal of the director of the Shin Bet internal security service this week, following a power struggle over the Hamas attack that sparked the war in Gaza.

Netanyahu has resisted calls for an official state commission of inquiry into the Oct. 7 attack and has tried to blame the failures on the army and security agencies.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday announced his decision to dismiss Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, citing a lack of trust between them. “I have decided to propose to the government the dismissal of Shin Bet Director Ronen Bar,” Netanyahu said in a video statement released by his office.
