It is reported that the meeting will vote on his dismissal. Bar stated that the discussions at the meeting violated Israeli law and did not comply with the dismissal procedures for public officials. In the letter, Bar criticized the Netanyahu government’s “baseless accusations” against him as an attempt to cover up their motives for attempting to undermine Simbert’s fulfillment of his duties. Bar stated that Prime Minister Netanyahu is taking action to weaken Israel’s national strength.
