The Ronen Bar affair is fast becoming the main catalyst to the full exposure of the Israeli Deep State control of the State of Israel.
The fact there is a Deep State in Israel is no surprise. Unlike America, modern Israel was founded by Communists who usurped control of the Zionist movement and controlled every lever of authority in the State until 1977 when Menachem Begin of the Likud won. His victory shocked the leftist elites, but Begin himself never attempted to uproot the authoritative superstructure that had driven policy since the Pre-State era. If anything he allowed the likes of former Chief Justice Aharon Barak and his backers exert more control over the Jewish State than ever.
Prime Minister Netanyahu has always been an enigma. He is rightwing in terms of goals, but his strategies have constantly fallen short of what his base would like to see. On one hand he speaks rightwing, but the base has had suspicions that he was never truly interested in taking down the multi generational control of the leftwing.
Netanyahu’s strategy has always been to out wait the left. His coalition of traditional sefardim, religious zionists, settlers, and ultra orthodox is a majority of the populace, so in Netanyahu mind all he had to do was to nurture this coalition and eventually the Deep State would naturally be uprooted. This had been the religious zionist strategy before Gush Katif. Post the expulsion, the religious zionist public split on strategy, with the less statist group challenging the wait and see strategy by attempting to take leadership roles in the government and change the status quo.
Netanyahu’s long game explains why he never overhauled the security establishment - after all his religious zionist and settler partners were fast becoming the majority in the army – they would control it one day.
In a sense October 7th was Bibi’s Gush Katif. It was then that the Prime Minister realized the left would rather destroy the state than let Netanyahu’s coalition take over permanently. The morning of October 7th 2023, Shabak head Ronen Bar attempted to hide from the Prime Minister the fact there was an invasion and assumed if anything it was a small incursion. The assumption was that Netanyahu would be forced to resign over the security failure. We all know what happened, Netanyahu did not resign and despite the Biden administration’s funding of continuous anti-Netanyahu protests throughout the war - the Prime Minister is still in power.
October 7th taught the Prime Minister that he cannot afford to out wait the left and the Deep State and now that he has almost the entire security establishment under his control - he is willing to take them on.
The revelation of the conspiracy to obstruct the government in the form of the imaginary Qatar Gate, hatched out between Shabak head Ronen Bar and the current Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara has set up the final battle between the Deep State and Netanyahu’s traditionalist coalition.
Many people have seen Gaza and the other fronts as the main war Israel has had to contend with. The truth is the Deep State’s control must be broken for absolute victory of Jewish Israel over its enemies. The irony is that the actual fall of Gali Baharav-Miara and Ronen Bar as well as the Deep State apparatus is not Qatar Gate. It turns out that the same Ronen Bar and Gali Baharav-Miara had ordered the Shabak to spy on Ben Gvir and the police. This news has sent shockwaves through the political system and country and appears to be the smoking gun everyone knew was always there.
So will the Supreme Court order the government to keep Ronen Bar and Gali Baharav-Miara in their positions? The answer is yes. However, it is up to the legally elected government to ignore their order and call the bluff revealing to everyone that the emperor has been without clothes this entire time. Only this will ensure Israel can rise above its external enemies and stand as a light to all the nations.
