The news comes amid a legal battle for the government to decide to fire top security officials last month.

Ronen Bar, the head of Israel’s domestic security, said he will invoke a lack of trust in his move to spark mass protests after he fell into tension with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on June 15.

The two have publicly traded allegations and counter-liability. Political turmoil followed, but Netanyahu's survival strategy seemed to have prevailed.

"After 35 years of service, I will end my post on June 15, 2025 to allow orderly procedures for appointing permanent successors," Shin BET chief told the commemoration at his agency, according to a statement Monday.

Lawyers filed for firing in legal cases that polarize the country. Netanyahu described it as a "scammer" in a Supreme Court affidavit.

The commentary published a nearly weeklong law firm issued a sworn in statement to the court, accusing the prime minister of demanding personal loyalty and ordering him to monitor anti-government protesters.

"I allegedly demanded action against innocent civilians, or the allegations of nonviolent and legal protests during the 2023 protest are an absolute lie," Netanyahu said in a court statement.

In turn, the Bar Association denied the allegations of Netanyahu and his colleagues that Shin Bet's security agency failed to promptly issue an attack on Hamas' unprecedented October 7, 2023, attacking Israel that triggered the Gaza War.

Ball believes his strike was out of a desire to stop the “pursuing truth” that led to the incident on October 7, and accusations of corruption hanging on Netanyahu during the ongoing long-lasting trial.

Netanyahu proposed Deputy Admiral Eli Sharvit as the next Shin Bet, but his nomination was reversed after being criticized by the United States, the main Israeli supporter.

The bar association's dismissal was announced by the government last month but was frozen by the Supreme Court. The move sparked massive demonstrations, with critics accusing Netanyahu and his government of undermining the support institutions of Israel’s democracy by seeking the removal of the bar association.

Some Israelis have condemned their view as an authoritarian shift in Netanyahu, who has been launching impeachment procedures against many critics, including Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara.

The Israeli parliament approved a law last month that gives politicians more power in appointing judges, a key component of Netanyahu's plan to overhaul the country's judiciary.

According to Attorney General Yariv Levin, who sponsored the bill, the measure aims to "restore the balance between the legislation and the judiciary." However, critics say the new law is “a nail in the coffin of Israel’s democracy.”

The overall judicial reform plan sparked one of the largest protest movements in Israel's history in 2023, after the Gaza War was watched by the public.
