“I really hope that there’s nothing here. I don’t know what happened, but I do know one thing: We must investigate it,” said Knesset member Yoav Kisch of Likud when the Knesset’s Interior Committee, which he heads, voted to create a parliamentary committee of inquiry to investigate the Gal Hirsch affair.
Brig. Gen. Hirsch resigned from the military after the Second Lebanon War (2006). He then went on to establish his own security consulting firm and also headed the Israel Leadership Institute. He was nominated to be police commissioner on Aug. 25, 2015, but his appointment was officially withdrawn almost a month later, on Sept. 23, because of a criminal investigation into his affairs.
