Several appointments are expected to be confirmed during the closing plenary, including Sallai Meridor as chairman, Chaim Chesler as treasurer and Alex Grass as chairman of the agency’s Board of Governors. Aaron Abramovitch, the agency’s former legal advisor, was approved Sunday as the agency’s next director general.
