07:50โขSupreme Court Expels Public From Chaotic Shin Bet Chief Firing Hearing
โจThe newspapers extensively cover the chaotic Supreme Court hearing on Prime Minister Netanyahu's dismissal of Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar. The session has been repeatedly disrupted, forcing unprecedented measures. After a bereaved father's outburst and continued interruptions from MK Tali Gottlieb, Supreme Court President Yitzhak Amit ordered a temporary suspension of proceedings (13tv, Davar, Israel Hayom, Kan, Maariv, Mako, Makor Rishon, now14, Ynet, walla). Following deliberation, the justices took the extraordinary step of clearing the courtroom entirely, allowing only journalists to remain for the resumed hearing (Davar, Haaretz, Maariv, Makor Rishon, now14, Ynet, walla). The government representative argued the petitions are "politically motivated" (13tv, Kipa, walla).
