Lindsey Graham criticizes Netanyahu's Shin Bet chief appointment
Senator Lindsey Graham criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's appointment of Eli Sharvit as the new head of the Shin Bet security service, describing the decision as 'beyond problematic.' Graham's concerns stem from Sharvit's past criticisms of former President Trump, particularly regarding Trump's climate policies, which he expressed in an op-ed. This criticism has raised eyebrows among Netanyahu's allies, and there are indications that the nomination may be reconsidered due to pressure from both within Israel and the U.S. Graham urged Israeli officials to 'do better vetting' and suggested that Sharvit's appointment could create unnecessary tension at a critical time. Sharvit's involvement in anti-government protests further complicates his position, although sources close to Netanyahu claim that this was not a disqualifying factor in his selection. The situation remains fluid, with speculation about the potential reversal of Sharvit's nomination.
