The cabinet today voted to approve the appointment of Avichai Mandelblit as Israel’s new Attorney General.
An Orthodox Jew, Mandelblit served as Chief Military Advocate General
of the IDF from 2004 to 2011. He was appointed Cabinet Secretary in
April 2013.
Mandelblit replaces Yehuda Weinstein, who took office February 1, 2010.
Weinstein leaves office with the distinction of having been the
attorney general who personally approved the torture of Jewish teens
under Shin Bet custody.
