Prime Minister Netanyahu's bid to remove the head of Shin Bet is part of a wider effort to strengthen executive control over state agencies, following a previous, contentious judicial overhaul. This move comes after attempts to dismiss the attorney general and seek greater political control over Supreme Court appointments, reflecting a return to divisive policies that sparked mass protests last year. Legal experts warn that these actions threaten the independence of crucial oversight bodies amid shifting political dynamics influenced by external events, like the recent cease-fire in Gaza.
Netanyahu's recent efforts to dismiss security heads illustrate a long-standing ambition to centralize power, reminiscent of his previous, controversial judicial overhaul attempts.
The latest moves by Netanyahu's right-wing coalition reflect a sustained effort to gain dominance over independent state agencies, reigniting debates from previous protests.
