Netanyahu to deliver statement, possibly on new spy chief
Netanyahu will deliver a statement to the press at 8:15 p.m., a statement from his office says.
The statement, to be delivered from the Prime Minister’s Office, was not previously scheduled.
The statement does not say what will be addressed during the statement, but speculation points to the announcement of a new head of the Mossad spy agency.
Frontrunners are said to be current National Security Adviser Yossi Cohen; Ran Ben Barak, head of intel in the Defense Ministry; and an official identified only as “N,” who is currently deputy head of the spook body.
