Having finished with appointing a new head for the Mossad, D., Prime Minister Netanyahu is nearing a decision on the next top-level appointment in the defense establishment: a successor to Nadav Argaman, the head of the Shin Bet security service.
Argaman’s term is set by law at five years, which ends in four months. In contrast to the decision about D., which passed without drama and drew praise from former heads and senior members of Mossad, the race for chief of the Shin Bet is evoking strong emotions and heated debates even before any decision has been made.
