The cabinet voted to extend Bank of Israel Governor Amir Yaron’s tenure for a second five-year term.
It was initially reported that Yaron, who has been critical of the effect that the Netanyahu government’s judicial overhaul had on Israel’s economy, would leave at the end of 2023.
However, that decision changed shortly after the outbreak of Israel’s ongoing war with Hamas, in light of the need for economic stability.
