Israel's attorney general warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he would be barred from appointing a new Shin Bet chief, following a Supreme Court ruling suspending the dismissal of Ronen Bar.
"According to a Supreme Court ruling, it is forbidden to take any action that would undermine the status of Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar," Gali Baharav-Miara wrote in a letter to Netanyahu.
She added, "It is prohibited to appoint a new head of the Shin Bet, and no interviews are allowed for this position."
