Top official at Finance Ministry resigns
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleKeren Terner Eyal has resigned as director-general of the Finance Ministry.
Terner Eyal reached the decision in coordination with Finance Minister Israel Katz, according to a joint statement, which says she’ll step down in the coming weeks “in light of her personal request.”
Katz taps Tax Authority chief Eran Yaacov to serve as acting director-general until a permanent appointment is made.
No reason is cited for the move, but top Treasury officials have feuded with Katz over the government’s economic plans during the coronavirus pandemic and several have stepped down.
Terner Eyal served as director-general of the Transportation Ministry when it was headed by Katz.
