JERUSALEM, UNSPECIFIED - MARCH 19: A protester wears a mask of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a rally against the Israeli government on March 19, 2025 in Jerusalem. Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is to dismiss the director of Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency), Ronen Bar, citing "ongoing distrust" during a time of war after the internal security organisation responsible for monitoring Palestinian militant groups released a report acknowledging its failures in the October 7 attacks. The report also criticised Mr Netanyahu, stating that government policies contributed to the events. (Photo by Amir Levy/Getty Images)
