Shin Bet Director Ronen Bar submitted a classified affidavit to the High Court of Justice containing explosive allegations involving Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and senior officials in the Prime Minister’s Office, according to a report by Kan News.

The classified filing, submitted alongside a publicly available affidavit, reportedly includes sensitive information related to multiple scandals. These include details of the Qatargate investigation, the leaking of classified documents by a Netanyahu aide to Germany’s Bild newspaper, and Netanyahu’s alleged attempts to use the Shin Bet against anti-government protestors.

Bar also reportedly disclosed that Netanyahu asked him to assist in delaying his testimony in his ongoing criminal trial. Additionally, the affidavit covers internal discussions between security and political leaders on how to handle the war with Hamas.

The revelation come as part of High Court petitions challenging the government’s decision to dismiss Bar, a move made at Netanyahu’s recommendation. In his public affidavit, Bar accused Netanyahu of firing him due to his refusal to act as a political tool, his support of criminal probes into Netanyahu’s associates, and his opposition to what Bar described as illegitimate directives during the 2023 protests against judicial reform.
