Shin Bet veteran Nadav Argaman is to be appointed as the next chief of Israel’s domestic security service.
Mr Argaman, 55, who joined the Shin Bet straight from the IDF, where he was a special-forces officer, spent most of his 33-year career in the organisation’s operational division, which he led.
He resume includes also four years in charge of security of all Israeli institutions in North America, and a year on secondment to the Israeli Atomic Energy Agency.
He served two periods as deputy chief and was widely regarded as the only serious candidate for the top role from within the organisation.
