Counter-terror chief appointed head of National Security Council

Eitan Ben-David, the head of the Counter-Terrorism Bureau, is appointed the head of the Israel National Security Council.

The announcement comes a day after the interim head of the NSC, Yaakov Nagel, announced he was stepping down.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered to name Nagel as permanent NSC chief last year, but he declined citing personal reasons.
