Just four days after the government approved the appointment of a new Director General of the Environmental Protection Ministry, the ministry’s chief scientist tells a conference that she will be leaving too.
Prof. Noga Kronfeld -Schor, who was appointed to the post in January 2021, will return to Tel Aviv University’s School of Zoology.
Several senior officials have quit the ministry over the past year, among them Shuli Nezer, responsible for industry and licensing; legal adviser Dalit Dor; Yuval Laster, who headed the policy and strategy unit; and Dr. Netta Lipman, who oversaw the field of natural resources and climate resilience.
The newly-appointed director general, Assaf Yazdi, will replace ministry veteran, Guy Samet.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
