Justice minister taps interim state attorney, reportedly against AG’s wishes
Justice Minister Amir Ohana of Likud announces he has appointed Dan Eldad, director of the State Attorney’s Office’s Economic division, as the interim state attorney.
Eldad will fill the post vacated by Shai Nitzan.
Ohana and Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit had previously clashed over another nominee for the post, Orly Ginsberg Ben-Ari, before she ultimately turned down the post.
Mandelblit was also reportedly against the nomination of Eldad.
