Israel's Shin Bet chief announces resignation, to step down June 15

Shin Bet head Ronen Bar announced his resignation in Tel Aviv, formalizing his departure for June 15.
His resignation follows the agency's failure to warn of Hamas's October 7, 2023 attacks and defuses conflict with Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Netanyahu attempted to fire Bar last month, while the Shin Bet investigates links between Netanyahu's office and Qatar.
Bar stated everyone who failed "must bow our heads," acknowledging the Oct. 7 failures.
Bar joins other security figures resigning after the October 7 attacks, while Netanyahu faces ongoing corruption trial and scandals.
