Israel PM: New security chief must be appointed 'as soon as possible'

Israel's premier said Friday his pick for the next domestic intelligence chief should be appointed "as soon as possible", but would have no hand in an ongoing investigation into his associates. The announcement defied Baharav-Miara, who had said that given the court ruling, the premier "must refrain from any action related to the appointment of a new head of the Shin Bet".
