"Citizens of Israel, we are in the midst of a war for our very existence - a war on seven fronts," he added. "At all times, but especially in such an existential war, the Prime Minister must have full confidence in the head of the Shin Bet. But unfortunately, the situation is the opposite - I do not have such confidence. I have a continuing distrust of the head of the Shin Bet. A distrust that has grown over time."

Netanyahu stressed that he is "full of appreciation for the women and men of the Shin Bet."
