Head of task force to aid fire victims resigns 2 days after appointment
Netanya Mayor Miriam Fireberg, who was appointed by the prime minister to head a special task force to aid the victims of the Carmel fire, sent Wednesday morning a resignation later – only two days after her appointment.
Fireberg's appointment was protested by Carmel regional council heads. On Monday, the council heads prevented her from attending a meeting with the director-generals of the ministries. The Prime Minister's Office intends to continue operating the task force, but it is sill unclear who will head it. (Roni Sofer)
