Netanyahu appoints Eli Sharvit as new Shin Bet director

Choice comes despite the Supreme Court’s suspension of the dismissal of the previous head, Ronen Bar

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has appointed Eli Sharvit, former commander of the Israeli Navy, as the new director of the Shin Bet internal security service. The decision was announced by his office, which specified that Netanyahu made this choice after conducting interviews with seven qualified candidates.

Although Israel’s Supreme Court suspended the dismissal of the current Shin Bet chief, Ronen Bar, in early March, Netanyahu nevertheless decided to proceed with Sharvit’s appointment, without waiting for appeals against the government’s decision to be heard.
