Israeli Security Chief Accuses Netanyahu of Making Improper Requests

Israel's domestic security chief Ronen Bar accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of pressuring him to spy on anti-government protesters and their financiers, according to a public affidavit submitted to the Supreme Court. Bar alleged that Netanyahu also demanded his loyalty over court rulings in times of constitutional crisis. The explosive claims emerged as part of a legal challenge against Netanyahu's effort to remove Bar following an investigation into alleged security breaches involving classified documents and ties to Qatar.
