It comes as Israel\u2019s military <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/18\/world\/middleeast\/israel-strikes-gaza-cease-fire-hamas.html\" title=\"\">resumes a campaign<\/a> in Gaza that has raised concern among many Israelis about the fates of the hostages still held in the enclave.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Shin Bet is deeply involved in Israel\u2019s war against Hamas in Gaza, providing intelligence and targets. By law, the agency is also tasked with protecting Israeli democracy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The discord between Mr. Netanyahu and Mr. Bar goes to the heart of a broader battle playing out over the nature and future of Israel\u2019s democracy. Critics of Mr. Netanyahu\u2019s ruling coalition, the most right-wing and religiously conservative in Israel\u2019s history, accuse it of working to reduce the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/17\/world\/middleeast\/israel-netanyahu-shin-bet-firing.html\" title=\"\">authority of independent state watchdogs<\/a> and to remove checks and balances on the powers of the government, which holds a narrow majority in Parliament.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The firing of Mr. Bar on grounds of personal trust has also raised public concerns that future appointments may be based primarily on loyalty to the prime minister.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Bar, who has led the agency since 2021, issued a rare public statement last week, after Mr. Netanyahu\u2019s announcement, saying that Mr. Netanyahu\u2019s expectation of \u201cpersonal trust\u201d was in opposition to the public interest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt\u2019s a fundamentally flawed expectation that is in contravention with the Shin Bet law and statesmanship,\u201d Mr. Bar said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Thousands of protesters took to the streets of Jerusalem on Wednesday in anticipation of the move and more protests were expected on Thursday. The new protests recall weekly <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/02\/13\/world\/middleeast\/israel-judicial-protests-netanyahu.html\" title=\"\">demonstrations in 2023<\/a> against attempts to overhaul the judiciary to reduce its power to act as a check on the government, with business leaders at one point joining labor unions to hold a national strike.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Netanyahu and his allies have made accusations of overreach against the judiciary and other independent branches, saying that they have hampered the government\u2019s freedom to make decisions and to represent the will of voters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Netanyahu has been under police investigation and is <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/12\/10\/world\/middleeast\/the-netanyahu-corruption-trial-explained.html\" title=\"\">on trial on charges of corruption,<\/a> which he denies. He has increasingly accused a liberal \u201cdeep state\u201d of conducting a witch hunt against him and his family.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">For months, Mr. Bar had angered Mr. Netanyahu by <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/11\/14\/world\/middleeast\/netanyahu-israel-leaks-explained.html\" title=\"\">investigating officials in the prime minister\u2019s office<\/a> over claims that they had leaked secret documents and also worked for people connected to Qatar, an Arab state close to Hamas. Mr. Netanyahu has denied wrongdoing; the Qatari government did not respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Appearing emboldened domestically, as well as in Gaza, by the staunch support of the U.S. administration, Mr. Netanyahu made common cause with President Trump in <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/netanyahu\/status\/1902434651597111337\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">a blunt social media post<\/a> late Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIn America and in Israel, when a strong right wing leader wins an election, the leftist Deep State weaponizes the justice system to thwart the people\u2019s will,\u201d he wrote. \u201cThey won\u2019t win in either place!
