Israel opposition leader fears violence over move to sack Shin Bet chief

Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid warned on Sunday of potential political violence within Israel, citing intelligence.
Lapid's warning follows rising tensions, including the government's March 20 decision to dismiss Shin Bet Director Ronen Bar.
The Supreme Court suspended Bar's dismissal pending a review of legal petitions filed by the opposition.
Lapid quoted Prime Minister's son Yair Netanyahu as saying, "Ronen Bar is attempting to carry out a coup."
Lapid urged Netanyahu to stop inciting violence and empower the Shin Bet, emphasizing the fragility of the situation.
