The vote for the next chairman of the Jewish Agency has been postponed, according to Hebrew media reports.
The deadline for submitting new candidates is extended until November 17, while a vote on the new chief will be held a month after that, according to Army Radio.
The delay comes after Intelligence Minister Elazar Stern withdrew his candidacy for Jewish Agency chairman amid a growing controversy over comments he made suggesting he had ignored complaints, possible including sexual harassment complaints, during his time as head of the IDF’s Manpower Directorate.
