The bereaved father revealed details from the meeting with Ronen Bar: "He didn't trust the Prime Minister"
Rabbi Yehoshua Shani, father of the late Captain Uri Shani, revealed in an interview with Channel 14 details from a three-hour personal meeting with former Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar. According to him, Bar admitted responsibility for the October 7 disaster but refused to resign and is trying to shift blame onto the political echelon. Shani claimed that Bar knew about suspicious signs from 1:30 AM and did not update the Prime Minister, and declared a public struggle against him.
Rabbi Yehoshua Shani, father of the late Captain Uri Shani who fell in battle at Kissufim, gave an interview last night (Thursday) on Channel 14 and leveled serious accusations against former Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar. In an interview with Erel Segal on the program "The Patriots," Shani revealed details from a three-hour personal meeting he had with Bar during the intermediate days of Passover, about six months after the events of October 7. According to Shani, Bar admitted responsibility for the disaster in the meeting and expressed willingness to cooperate with a commission of inquiry, but his current conduct, which includes opening legal proceedings against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, constitutes, in his view, a breach of trust and an attempt to shift blame. Shani claimed that Bar knew about suspicious signs as early as 1:30 AM on the night of the attack, but did not update the Prime Minister. "He doesn't trust him!" Shani said, adding that Bar saw himself as "the head of the military arm of the deep state in Israel." Shani declared the opening of a public and legal struggle under the banner "Ronen Bar is responsible for the failure," and emphasized that this is a struggle for Israeli sovereignty and democracy. The article presents only Shani's position, without a response from Bar or the Shin Bet.
