The government is expected to approve a series of new appointments for a range of senior positions in the public service during the day. According to reports, the updated agenda for the cabinet meeting includes the approval of the appointments of Julia Shamalov-Berkovich as Chair of the Cable and Satellite Broadcasting Council, and of Israel Malachi to the position of Director-General of the Ministry of Finance.
According to Daphna Liel, the appointment of Shamalov-Berkovich is at the center of the government discussion today. Political sources point out that these are appointments being promoted by the current coalition.
At the same time, Michael Shemesh notes that Israel Malachi, who is identified as an associate of Minister Bezalel Smotrich, is the candidate for the position of Director-General of the Ministry of Finance. This appointment comes after it was reported in 'News in Real Time on Telegram' that Amit Segal revealed the move, noting the fact that among those supporting and recommending the appointment is former Director-General of the Ministry of Justice, Emi Palmor.
The appointments reflect the continuation of the current government's policy of appointing figures close to the political echelon to sensitive professional and regulatory positions.
