Israel's protest organizations have called for protests against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to fire Shin Bet Chief Ronen Bar.
"The decision is being made by a person who is in a blatant conflict of interest, whose office is under security investigation for cooperation with Qatar, and a black flag of illegitimacy flies over it," the organizations said in a statement.
"Netanyahu has no public mandate to fire the head of the Shin Bet; this is a decision that directly and clearly threatens Israeli democracy."
The protests are set to take place on Wednesday and will include a mass march to the Prime Minister's Office in Jerusalem.
