Netanyahu's candidate for Civil Service Commissioner: Former Minister Daniel Hershkowitz

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked the special committee that selects the Civil Service Commissioner to examine former Minister of Science Daniel Hershkovitz.

Hershkovitz served in the Knesset on behalf of the Bayit Yehudi and was the president of Bar-Ilan University until recently.

Netanyahu named Hershkovitz after the committee disqualified Netanyahu's former candidate, Ofra Bracha, who is considered as one of Netanyahu's close associates.
