Investing.com -- The Supreme Court in Israel has put a temporary stop to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to dismiss Ronan Bar, the head of the Shin Bet domestic intelligence agency. The court announced on Friday that the execution of Bar’s dismissal has been suspended. This initial injunction will give the court time to review the petitions filed against the dismissal. A final decision on the matter will be reached no later than April 8.
The suspension of Bar’s dismissal comes after tens of thousands of Israelis protested against the decision and the government’s policies on the prior Thursday. Netanyahu stated last week that he had lost confidence in Bar and wanted to dismiss him.
In response to the Supreme Court’s temporary suspension of the dismissal, companies across Israel have issued a stern warning to the country’s leadership. As per Handelsblatt, a significant business forum, which represents the heads of the country’s 200 largest companies, has threatened to bring the country’s economy to a standstill if the government does not abide by the court order.
