Former navy commander Eli Sharvit may not end up as the next head of the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) due to several hurdles. The High Court of Justice may rule against his appointment due to a conflict of interest surrounding Qatargate, and there are objections to his appointment from members of the coalition. Additionally, objections from Washington have been raised due to comments Sharvit made critical of President Donald Trump's positions on the climate. Despite the potential obstacles, bringing in an outsider to lead the agency may be what the country needs to repair its relationship with the government and restore public trust.
