Defense Minister Israel Katz appointed Brigadier General Hisham Ibrahim, a Druze officer currently serving as head of the Civil Administration, as his military secretary. Ibrahim will assume the role immediately, according to Katz's office.
Defense Minister Israel Katz has appointed Brigadier General Hisham Ibrahim as his military secretary, a key liaison role between the minister and the IDF General Staff. Ibrahim, a Druze officer, currently serves as head of the Civil Administration (COGAT), the Israeli military body that coordinates civilian affairs in Judea and Samaria. His military career includes service as chief armor officer, commander of the 460th and 205th brigades, and deputy commander of the 91st Division. Katz informed the IDF Chief of Staff of the appointment. The decision follows a search process that earlier this month narrowed to two candidates — Brig. Gen. (res.) Yair Peli and Brig. Gen. Guy Levy — but Katz opted for Ibrahim instead, according to previous reports by Amit Segal. Ibrahim's immediate entry into the role marks a swift conclusion to the selection.
