"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

Benjamin Netanyahu was born on October 21, 1949 in Tel Aviv, Israel. He is an Israeli politician and should resign," said the former head of the country's foreign intelligence service, Mossad, Tamir Pardo to the local edition "Details".

The former head of the service said: I cannot understand how a man like Netanyahu, who is the longest-serving prime minister of the Jewish state, cannot understand that there is only one right move.

He is to step down from power.

Pardo did not declare for another early parliamentary election.

"It is better for the Prime Minister's Likud party to choose a new head of the executive branch," he said.

In the words of the former director of the Mossad: All citizens of Israel, regardless of whether they are Jewish or not, should support the protests against this government.

The coalition cabinet, made up of Likud and several ultra-Orthodox Jewish parties, announced a plan for sweeping justice reform.

It envisages a reduction in the powers of the judiciary in favor of the executive.

The cabinet's project caused discontent among the opposition and citizens and became an occasion for anti-government demonstrations.

Mass protests in Israel against Netanyahu's rule

Also, several major companies announced to leave Israel.

The latest opinion poll showed that in new parliamentary elections, the current ruling coalition would win 60 of the 120 seats in the Knesset and would have no support for a government.

Pardo (born in 1953 in Tel Aviv) was among the participants in the Entebbe operation.

Israeli soldiers on the night of July 3-4, 1979 rescued 102 of the 106 hostages.

On June 27, Palestinian extremists and far-left German terrorists hijacked a plane flying from Tel Aviv to Paris.

The plane made an emergency landing at the airport of the city of Entebbe in the African country of Uganda.

In the course of the operation, the older brother of the current Israeli Prime Minister, Yonatan Netanyahu, died.

Pardo headed the intelligence service from January 1, 2011 to January 5, 2016.
