First Soft Sign that the Government Rules and not the Deep State

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has appointed attorney Roi Cahlon as Acting Civil Service Commissioner. Pundits regard this as a first soft but promising sign that the government and the Knesset will finally start what they are entitled and obliged to do: rule in the name of the people of Israel.

The press release of the PMO gave some milestones on his professional CV: Attorney Cahlon, 44, has extensive experience in senior management, public law, law enforcement and the formulation of public policy. He holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in law with distinction. During his public service, he has made impressive achievements and received considerable esteem.

Cahlon began his public career in the State Attorney’s Office where he served for 15 years in senior positions in disciplinary, administrative and criminal law, and led a pivotal field related to the security establishment.

Cahlon has a decade of experience in the civil service disciplinary field, including six years in which he worked with the Attorney General and as the senior legal adviser to the Civil Service Commissioner in the field.

“Attorney Cahlon is a true professional. He has considerable experience in senior management and the work of the government, as well as in public and administrative law. I have closely followed him over the past year and even received warm recommendations from senior figures in the civil service and the law-enforcement establishment, regarding his appointment as Acting Civil Service Commissioner,” said Prime Minister Netanyahu.
