Bennett taps new acting IDF chief censor

Defense Minister Naftali Bennett appoints Eyal Samuelov as the new acting IDF chief censor, the officer in charge of preventing publications that could hurt Israel’s national security.

Samuelov, who has been the deputy censor, will succeed Col. Ariella Ben-Avraham who held the position since 2015.

Since Israel is ruled by a transitional government, it cannot make permanent appointments to senior roles.
