Why the Head of Israel's General Security Service Will Resign After the Conflict Ends

The head of Israel's General Security Service (Shabak), Ronen Bar, will resign immediately after the conclusion of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This was reported to The Times of Israel by former Shabak chief Yaakov Perry.

Perry stated that he personally spoke with Bar, who expressed his intentions to resign from the position of Shabak chief due to a number of significant intelligence failures that led to the war.

“I specifically spoke to him about what to expect, and I have no doubt that he will be one of the first to hand over the keys... His intention is to leave this position,” Perry said.
