State Prosecutor Amit Aisman will serve also as the acting attorney general for a month after Avichai Mandelblit’s six-year term ends on February 1, Justice Minister Gideon Sa’ar says.

Sa’ar breaks the development to the committee tasked with picking the next full-time attorney general, which will not be able to complete the process before Mandelblit’s term ends.

Aisman has reportedly agreed to serve temporarily in the double role.
