Hulata, 45, served as head of the Mossad intelligence agency's Strategic and Political Planning Department, as well as head of its Technology Division. The 23-year Mossad veteran is also a past winner of the Israel Defense Prize.
Bennett chose Hulata "in light of his years of experience, his actions and his understanding of the strategic challenges Israel faces in the security and diplomatic fields," the PMO said.
