Netanyahu in crisis: Likud pressure mounts to revoke Eli Sharvit’s Shin Bet appointment
Prime Minister Netanyahu is facing increasing pressure from his Likud party to withdraw the appointment of former Navy Commander Eli Sharvit as the new head of Shin Bet due to his involvement in anti-government protests and controversial political stances. Right-wing members of the party argue that Sharvit’s views are incompatible with the leadership role, and the Prime Minister may be forced to reconsider his decision to avoid further division within the government.
