However, the High Court of Justice issued an injunction today, and that means essentially blocking that decision, saying that this needs to come before an advisory committee, they need to hear both sides, they need to analyse what\u2019s going on before any sort of decision like this can be made and before any replacement can be put in that position.The attorney general after that sent a letter to Netanyahu saying that his government is not allowed to explore the idea of a replacement just yet. This has caused a lot of protests within Israel and it even prompted Netanyahu to speak earlier in the night saying that \u201cthere won\u2019t be a civil war within Israel\u201d.Because you have a people who are divided, you have the right wing within Israel who wants to go back to war and wants to remove all the people at these top-level positions so they are replaced with confidantes of Netanyahu, and then you have the other part of the Israeli public and the Israeli opposition within the government, who say that Netanyahu is doing all of this for personal and political gain.Click here to share on social media<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Faje.io%2Fsqo826%3Fupdate%3D3595234\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Israelis%20deeply%20divided%20over%20Shin%20Bet%20chief%20dismissal%2C%20return%20to%20war&amp;source=sharethiscom&amp;related=sharethis&amp;via=AJEnglish&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Faje.io%2Fsqo826%3Fupdate%3D3595234\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/aje.io\/sqo826?update=3595234\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>21 Mar 2025 &#8211; 22:45\u00a0(22:45 GMT)WATCH: Israeli military blows up Gaza\u2019s Turkish hospital and medical schoolVideo captured the moment Israeli forces blew up Gaza\u2019s Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital and an adjacent medical school over what the military claims was a Hamas presence.Watch below for the dramatic scenes:-Click here to share on social media<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Faje.io%2Fsqo826%3Fupdate%3D3595250\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=WATCH%3A%20Israeli%20military%20blows%20up%20Gaza%E2%80%99s%20Turkish%20hospital%20and%20medical%20school&amp;source=sharethiscom&amp;related=sharethis&amp;via=AJEnglish&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Faje.io%2Fsqo826%3Fupdate%3D3595250\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/aje.io\/sqo826?update=3595250\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>21 Mar 2025 &#8211; 22:30\u00a0(22:30 GMT)Israelis wondering how Hamas still has rocket launching capabilities<em><strong>Al Jazeera is reporting from Jordan because it has been banned from Israel and the occupied West Bank.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>It\u2019s the second consecutive day that fighters in Gaza were able to launch rockets against Israel, but also it\u2019s the fourth time that Yemen has launched its own attacks on Israel, though none of them reached Israeli space.The Israeli army confirmed that the most recent rocket was intercepted outside of Israeli space, though the airspace itself was disrupted at Ben Gurion airport for the fourth time this week.This is having some sort of impact on Israel, especially within the security establishment and within the general public, wondering how fighters in Gaza are still able to have these types of capabilities after the relentless bombardments for fifteen months starting in October 2023. Nonetheless, the Israeli army has issued evacuation warnings for all the areas that they say the projectiles were coming from, and they have been conducting air strikes on those areas.Click here to share on social media<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Faje.io%2Fsqo826%3Fupdate%3D3595208\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Israelis%20wondering%20how%20Hamas%20still%20has%20rocket%20launching%20capabilities&amp;source=sharethiscom&amp;related=sharethis&amp;via=AJEnglish&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Faje.io%2Fsqo826%3Fupdate%3D3595208\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/aje.io\/sqo826?update=3595208\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a>Advertisementhttps:\/\/d08bd0bc4a55b1ca605f9f9dfe4c4fa8.safeframe.googlesyndication.com\/safeframe\/1-0-41\/html\/container.htmlhttps:\/\/d08bd0bc4a55b1ca605f9f9dfe4c4fa8.safeframe.googlesyndication.com\/safeframe\/1-0-41\/html\/container.htmlhttps:\/\/d08bd0bc4a55b1ca605f9f9dfe4c4fa8.safeframe.googlesyndication.com\/safeframe\/1-0-41\/html\/container.html<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>21 Mar 2025 &#8211;

Practically naked, the three had their hands bound with cable ties, and were held outdoors in the cold for about an hour before being pushed onto the floor or a military vehicle \u2013 still without clothes \u2013 and taken for interrogation.\u201cForcing young children to strip, detaining them in degrading conditions, and subjecting them to psychological terror is a clear violation of international law and amounts to cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment,\u201d DCIP\u2019s Ayed Abu Eqtaish said.After nearly 12 hours of \u201carbitrary detention\u201d, the children were put in the back of a military truck and taken home \u2013 still in their underwear \u2013 where they discovered their grandmother had been killed by the Israeli gunfire.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2OHGzrhmNM\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DCIPalestine\/status\/1902725283456720942?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>Click here to share on social media<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Faje.io%2Fsqo826%3Fupdate%3D3593805\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Rights%20group%20says%20Israeli%20forces%20stripped%2C%20%E2%80%98terrorised%E2%80%99%20Palestinian%20boys%20aged%207%2C%2013&amp;source=sharethiscom&amp;related=sharethis&amp;via=AJEnglish&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Faje.io%2Fsqo826%3Fupdate%3D3593805\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/aje.io\/sqo826?update=3593805\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>21 Mar 2025 &#8211;

It is the first time that a government has voted to dismiss the head of its domestic, internal security services.What we know is that the Israeli cabinet convened very late in the evening \u2013 around 11pm local time (21:00 GMT) \u2013 and the vote was unanimous.However, Ronen Bar was not present in this meeting and instead submitted a quite scathing letter to ministers within the government noting that his presence in the meeting would not be because he didn\u2019t actually find these provisions legal, and saying his dismissal from his post needed to happen in some sort of orderly structure with a lot of other people, who needed to be involved given just how senior his position is.He also noted that the Israeli prime minister is trying to evade a lot of different things, which means Netanyahu is trying to evade an internal investigation into the security failures that Israel had on October 7 and he has also tried to push forward his own political agenda.Ronen Bar said that Netanyahu wanted him to negotiate with mediators on a ceasefire deal in Gaza but without coming to any sort of deal. And he was side-lined from those talks about a month ago and, instead, replaced with one of Netanyahu\u2019s confidants so that the Israeli prime minister could get his agenda on the negotiating table.This is surely an unprecedented step in Israeli history. It\u2019s getting a lot of backlash from the opposition.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2025-03-04T181030Z_180424949_RC20TAAFH9YB_RTRMADP_3_ISRAEL-PALESTINIANS-INQUIRY-SHINBET-1742149039.jpg?w=770&amp;resize=770%2C513&amp;quality=80\" alt=\"FILE PHOTO: Israeli Security Agency (Shin Bet) director Ronen Bar attends a memorial ceremony in connection with the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023\">Israeli Security Agency [Shin Bet] director Ronen Bar attends a memorial ceremony in connection with the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, at the Mount Herzl military cemetery in Israel, on October 27, 2024 [Gil Cohen-Magen\/Pool via Reuters]Click here to share on social media<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Faje.io%2Fsqo826%3Fupdate%3D3593559\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=First%20time%20in%20Israel%E2%80%99s%20history%20that%20head%20of%20Shin%20Bet%20intelligence%20service%20fired&amp;source=sharethiscom&amp;related=sharethis&amp;via=AJEnglish&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Faje.io%2Fsqo826%3Fupdate%3D3593559\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/aje.io\/sqo826?update=3593559\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a>Advertisementhttps:\/\/d08bd0bc4a55b1ca605f9f9dfe4c4fa8.safeframe.googlesyndication.com\/safeframe\/1-0-41\/html\/container.html<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>21 Mar 2025 &#8211; 01:15\u00a0(01:15 GMT)<img decoding=\"async\" height=\"22.5\" width=\"96.75\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Breaking-1699362877.svg?fit=86%2C20&amp;quality=80\" alt=\"Houthi\">Judge bars deportation of pro-Palestine Georgetown University studentWe have been reporting on the case of Badar Khan Suri, an Indian man studying at Georgetown University in Washington, DC, who has been detained by US immigration authorities and is facing deportation for allegedly spreading pro-Hamas propaganda.US District Judge Patricia Giles in Alexandria, Virginia, has now ordered US President Donald Trump\u2019s administration not to deport Suri until the order is lifted.Suri\u2019s lawyer welcomed Thursday\u2019s ruling and called it \u201cthe first bit of due process Dr Khan Suri has received since he was snatched from his family Monday night\u201d outside his home in Rosslyn, Virginia.Suri, a postdoctoral fellow at Georgetown\u2019s Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, is living in the US on a student visa and is married to an American citizen.His arrest comes amid the Trump administration\u2019s efforts to deport foreigners accused of taking part in pro-Palestine protests, including Columbia University student and US permanent resident\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/program\/newsfeed\/2025\/3\/19\/what-we-know-about-the-arrest-of-mahmoud-khalil\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mahmoud Khalil<\/a>.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cf-images.eu-west-1.prod.boltdns.net\/v1\/static\/665003303001\/119ea2b1-8ed4-4b5b-a663-49a0e5fc8187\/f08c1ccc-37cd-4144-ae85-25b015b3735b\/1920x1080\/match\/image.jpg\" alt=\"\">https:\/\/imasdk.googleapis.com\/js\/core\/bridge3.688.0_en.html#fid=goog_1112831725Play Video04:10What we know about the arrest of Mahmoud KhalilClick here to share on social media<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Faje.io%2Fsqo826%3Fupdate%3D3593538\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Judge%20bars%20deportation%20of%20pro-Palestine%20Georgetown%20University%20student&amp;source=sharethiscom&amp;related=sharethis&amp;via=AJEnglish&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Faje.io%2Fsqo826%3Fupdate%3D3593538\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/aje.io\/sqo826?update=3593538\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>21 Mar 2025 &#8211; 01:00\u00a0(01:00 GMT)Deprived of supplies, Gaza\u2019s hospitals \u2018overwhelmed\u2019 with injured from Israeli onslaught<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/author\/hind-khoudary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/author\/hind-khoudary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hind Khoudary<\/a><\/li><\/ul>Reporting from Al Aqsa Hospital, Deir el-Balah, central GazaHealth workers are overwhelmed and hospitals across the Gaza Strip are also overwhelmed.We are talking about 18 days of zero aid trucks entering the Gaza Strip.
