Political commentator Yaakov Bardugo said on Galei Israel radio that within 48 hours of opening the leak investigation, the country will shake, and Shin Bet director David Zini must fire the head of the investigations division.
Commentator Yaakov Bardugo escalated his public campaign against the Shin Bet's handling of a classified leak to Channel 12, calling on director David Zini to fire the head of the investigations division within 48 hours. Speaking Thursday on Galei Israel, Bardugo warned that once the leak investigation opens, the country will shake — a reference to the expected political and security fallout. The Shin Bet director ordered an investigation earlier this week at Prime Minister Netanyahu's request, but Bardugo and other right-wing commentators have accused senior agency officials of blocking the probe. As The Zioneer reported earlier Thursday, Bardugo framed the 48-hour timeline as the moment the state will 'tremble,' though no formal investigation has been publicly confirmed by the agency.
