IDF appoints new military liaison to Palestinians

Kamil Abu Rokon is appointed Israel’s next military liaison to the Palestinians, taking over for Maj. Gen. Yoav Mordechai, who was served in the position for four years, the army says.

In a ceremony at the army’s Tel Aviv headquarters, Abu Rokon is promoted in rank to major general.

He will formally take over for Mordechai after another ceremony sometime in May, the army says.
