Comment Shabak is certainly the more prominent term in Israel ie in Hebrew I can confidently say that most people today dont know what you mean if you say Shin Bet However in English it is true that the prominent name has remained Shin Bet for who knows what reason It is still a Hebrew name and for all intents and purposes the wrong one Until that term is phased out and Western media begins using the correct name Shabak I guess Wikipedia policy calls for us to continue using the current wrong term
