Defense Minister Yisrael Katz announced this morning (Sunday) that he has decided to appoint Brigadier General Hisham Ibrahim as his military secretary.
Brigadier General Ibrahim, a member of the Druze community, currently serves as the head of the Civil Administration.
Throughout his military service, he held a number of senior positions, including chief armor officer, commander of the 460th and 205th Brigades, and deputy commander of the 91st Division.
Brigadier General Ibrahim will assume the position immediately.
The appointment was approved after an interview that the Minister of Defense held with Ibrahim and on the recommendation of Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir. Katz also interviewed the commander of the 210th Division, Brigadier General Yair Plai, and the commander of the 98th Division, Brigadier General Guy Levy, for the position.
The Minister of Defense congratulated Brigadier General Ibrahim and said: "I am convinced that he will fulfill this important role with great success in a challenging and significant security period for the State of Israel.""
Ibrahim will join the Defense Minister's close team, responsible for ongoing coordination between the defense establishment, the IDF, and the Minister's Office.
Ibrahim will replace Major General Guy Marchisano, who was appointed last week as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's military secretary - after Roman Goffman was appointed head of the Mossad.
