โจThe newspapers extensively report on Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar submitting a sworn affidavit to the Supreme Court regarding his dispute with Prime Minister Netanyahu (Haaretz, Israel Hayom, Kan, Maariv, n12, Ynet). In the public portion, Bar claims Netanyahu expected "personal loyalty" rather than professional conduct, that he was asked to track protest activists, and was told to obey the PM over the Supreme Court in case of a constitutional crisis (Israel Hayom, Maariv, n12, Ynet). Bar also stated he would soon announce his resignation date. Meanwhile, the media continues reporting on Pope Francis' death at age 88 (13tv, Davar, Jerusalem Post, Times, Walla), and the ongoing dispute between Finance Minister Smotrich and MK Gafni over hostage priorities (INN, Srugim).
