Interim justice minister Amir Ohana fires ministry’s respected director general
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIn a surprise move, Justice Minister Amir Ohana fires the director general of his ministry, Emi Palmor.
Palmor, a respected 23-year veteran of Israel’s legal system, was appointed to the post in February 2014 by then-justice minister Tzipi Livni of the left-wing Hatnua party, then remained throughout the four-year term of Ayelet Shaked of the right-wing Jewish Home party.
Ministers are free to appoint and remove their ministry’s director general at will, but such significant personnel changes are usually not carried out in caretaker governments in the run-up to an election.
