Israel's Netanyahu defies court freeze to appoint ex-navy commander as new security agency chief
ai generated text
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has nominated Vice Admiral Eli Sharvit to lead the Shin Bet security agency. This comes after Netanyahu's government moved to oust Bar on March 21.
What is clear is that the prime minister decided this morning to continue his campaign against the judicial system and lead the state of Israel towards a dangerous constitutional crisis. The appointment of the head of the Shin Bet must be made only after a High Court decision.
In that position, he led the force building of the maritime defence of the territorial waters and conducted complex operations against Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran.
After conducting in-depth interviews with seven worthy candidates, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu decided to appoint former Israel navy commander, Vice-Admiral Eli Sharvit as the next director of the ISA (Shin Bet).
