Due to experience on Iranian front, Dr. Eyal Hulata tapped as next head of National Security Council
Hulata is expected to be Bennett's liaison with the Biden administration in terms of managing the diplomatic struggle against Iran. At this stage it seems that Biden is on the way to an agreement with Iran. Hulata faces considerable challenges in managing Israel's interaction with the White House in this context
