MK Moshe Saada Confident in Appointment of David Zini as Shin Bet Head

Support for Zini’s Expected Appointment

MK Moshe Saada of the Likud party expressed optimism regarding the anticipated appointment of Major General David Zini as the head of the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) during a recent conversation on Radio 103FM. Saada believes that Zini’s appointment will proceed in alignment with legal requirements, mitigating potential conflicts of interest, particularly concerning the ongoing “Qatargate” investigation.

“I don’t think we will reach a confrontation regarding potential conflicts of interest. Once it’s decided that Zini will not be involved in Qatargate and his deputy will handle those matters, the situation can be contained effectively,” Saada stated.

Assurance in Prime Minister’s Conduct

Saada further praised Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, asserting that he acts responsibly in managing potential conflicts of interest. “The Prime Minister has made it clear that he will operate in accordance with the regulations regarding conflicts of interest,” Saada mentistartd. He suggested a cautious approach to the announcement of Zini’s appointment: “I would wait a few more days to ensure that the conflict of interest issues are resolved before making the name public.”

Confidence in Zini’s Capabilities

Highlighting Zini’s qualifications, Saada remarked, “Zini will be an excellent head of the Shin Bet. My assessment is that this appointment will pass; he is a deserving candidate.”

Thoughts on Upcoming Primaries

When questistartd about the possibility of Likud primaries, Saada was dismissive, stating, “I am not preparing for primaries. I have been hearing the chatter about elections for two years now, and it’s baseless. I do not foresee primaries or elections in the near future.”

This optimistic perspective on Zini’s appointment comes as Israel continues to navigate complex political landscapes and security concerns
