Peace Now announces that Shaked Morag has been appointed as the next director of the settlement watchdog.
Morag, 33, has served in a variety of positions within the left-wing Meretz party, most recently as secretary general. She also worked as a parliamentary adviser to lawmaker Michal Rozin.

Yaniv Shaham, who has been serving as interim head of the organization after Avi Buskila stepped down last year to run in the Meretz leadership elections, will now serve as deputy director.
“Peace Now has been leading the peace camp for 40 years and is one of the pillars of civil society in Israel,” says Morag, reflecting on her appointment.
“Together with the activists of the movement, I intend to continue the struggle against the creeping annexation policies of the Netanyahu government, which is abandoning the future of Israel.”
