Shin Bet Director David Zini has aligned himself with Sara Netanyahu, according to a report Wednesday evening. The full article is available on The Zioneer.
A report Wednesday evening states that Shin Bet Director David Zini has aligned himself with Sara Netanyahu. The development follows recent reports of tensions within the security agency: earlier this week, Haaretz reported that Zini sought to remove the head of the Investigations Department over what he described as 'harsh treatment' of Jewish terror suspects. Last week, Likud MK Tally Gotliv publicly backed Zini, saying he was 'telling the absolute truth' and accusing unnamed parties of staging a 'coup' against him. The full details of the alignment with Sara Netanyahu are in the linked article.
