Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the opening of the Cabinet meeting, just hours after returning from his mission to the UN and the White House
“I have just returned from the United States on behalf of the government and the citizens of Israel. At the UN, I presented the truth about the State of Israel, its citizens, and its soldiers.
In Washington, I agreed with President Trump on a framework for the release of all our hostages and for achieving all the objectives of the war that we have set. I will provide a more detailed report to the government and cabinet members.
Today we are appointing Major General David Zini as the head of the Shin Bet. I have been deeply impressed with him over the years, having known him in his various IDF roles, including those where he worked closely with the Shin Bet.
