Former Mossad chief Yossi Cohen helped his daughter get a job with a prominent company in the United Arab Emirates, reports Channel 12 news.
According to the report, Cohen intervened during the period in which he was still head of the Mossad to get his daughter, Achinoam, a job at a company owned by a man that helped broker the Abraham Accords, which established diplomatic relations between Israel and the UAE last year.
The company’s owner, Tahnoun bin Zayed Al Nahyan, also serves as the UAE’s national security adviser.
As head of the Mossad, Cohen was also intimately involved in the efforts to ink the unprecedented peace deal. Achinoam was hired shortly after the accords were signed, and the company opened a branch in Israel, reports Channel 12.
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.
