Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is currently considering appointing a new military secretary - against the backdrop of the expected end of the role of military secretary Roman Gofman, who has been appointed head of the Mossad.
In the name exchange: Brigadier General Tal Politis, Brigadier General Barak Hiram and Brigadier General Guy Marchisano.
Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir submitted his recommendation to the Prime Minister and named two leading candidates for the position - Politis or Hiram.
It was reported on Galei Tzahal that Defense Minister Yisrael Katz is pushing to appoint Brigadier General Guy Marchisano, who currently serves as his military secretary at the Defense Ministry, to the position.
According to the report, Netanyahu is inclined to make a decision on Hiram's appointment, and is expected to inform the Chief of Staff of this after the saga of Goffman's appointment in the High Court of Justice is concluded.
Hiram served in his last position as commander of the Gaza Division, and previously commanded the Bezeq Brigade, the Golan Brigade, the IDF Fire Training Center, the Golan Brigade, the Golan Brigade, and the 51st Battalion.
Hiram was born and raised in Haifa to a secular family. He converted to Judaism, lives in the Tekoa settlement, and is the father of four children.
The Chief of Staff's second candidate, Brigadier General Politis, served until last month as the Chief of Staff of the Naval Wing, and previously served as Commander of the Naval Wing, Commander of the Haifa Base, and Commander of Fleet 13.
