Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleRan Baratz begins work at the prime minister’s office, months after the discovery of his less-than–flattering comments on social media about Obama and senior Israeli officials seemed to scupper his appointment as Netanyahu’s comms chief.

Former Finance Ministry spokesperson Boaz Stembler, who was named as an interim replacement for Baratz, will stay on in the role, NRG says.
