Deputy Shin Bet Chief Resigns Amid ‘Crisis of Trust’
News originally published by
MENAFNAccording to a daily newspaper, which quoted a Shin Bet statement, Zini approved the resignation request of his deputy—identified only as “S”—after 30 years of service.
The statement explained that when Zini took office, it was agreed that “S” would remain in his role until the agency stabilized and until he felt the timing was appropriate to resign, though no further details were provided.
However, the newspaper noted that the departure occurred amid unspecified disputes between “S” and Zini.
On Sept. 30, the Israeli government unanimously endorsed Zini’s appointment as Shin Bet director, despite objections from political opponents and former officials, since he came from the military rather than rising through the agency itself.
The newspaper also reported that “S” had strongly opposed an Israeli operation targeting a Hamas leader in Qatar, in which Shin Bet played a central role. The strike resulted in the deaths of five Hamas members and a Qatari security officer.
