The government has decided to keep Shin Bet chief Yuval Diskin in his current job for another year. The decision was made at the government's weekly meeting Sunday morning.
Commenting on the development, Defense Minister Ehud Barak said "I have been closely following Yuval Diskin's work in the past decade. He is a wonderful person, experienced and professional, with a high level of integrity. He has developed a strong working relationship with the IDF, as required by the threats faced by Israel in recent years," Barak said.
