Major-General (res.) Ido Nechushtan, a former Air Force officer, is not a candidate for the next head of the Mossad, the Prime Minister’s office announced on Sunday.
Reports made by Yediot Aharonot earlier on Sunday indicated that Nechushtan’s name was suggested by a source close to Prime Minister Netanyahu, and he is considered to have a significant chance of beating out the three candidates already working within the organization.
