Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaks with new Shin Bet chief David Zini, who was appointed by the cabinet earlier tonight.
The premier tells Zini he is sure that he is the right man to lead the agency, and wishes him great success in the position, the Prime Minister’s Office says in a statement.
Netanyahu also wishes to thank the interim Shin Bet head, who is referred to only by his first initial, Shin.
