Prime Minister Naftali Bennett meets with newly appointed Mossad chief David Barnea at the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem.
Bennett received an intelligence review of the organization’s activities from Barnea, a statement from the PMO says.
Barnea was appointed to lead the spy organization by former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu last month, replacing Yossi Cohen.
He served as a combat soldier in the elite Sayeret Matkal commando unit and has been in the Mossad for the past 25 years, including in prominent operational roles that saw him rise to lead the branch that handles the organization’s agents worldwide.
