Gov't approves Tamir Pardo Mossad chief appointment

The government approved Netanyahu's announcement on the appointment of Tamir Pardo as next head of Mossad. The prime minister noted Sunday that it would be hard to step into the shoes of current Mossad chief Meir Dagan: "His work was incredibly important for Israel's security, his contribution propelled Mossad to new heights and brought results."
