Investigations into Jewish terrorism are being obstructed by Benjamin Netanyahu, Haaretz has uncovered in a new investigation. According to the report, the Israeli prime minister personally intervened to block Israel’s Shin Bet security agency from pursuing surveillance and wiretaps on Jewish extremists suspected of committing terror attacks against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. The move has sparked alarm inside Israel’s security establishment, with senior officials describing it as “unprecedented” and “dangerous”.

The revelations, published by Haaretz, expose how Netanyahu’s far-right government has provided political cover to extremist settlers, granting them impunity to escalate violence and terrorise Palestinians. This obstruction of justice, security officials warn, risks undermining national security and emboldening Jewish terrorists.
