Legal career
[edit | edit source]Eldad was appointed to head the economic investigations department in the State Attorney's office in 2013; in this post he prosecuted high-profile corruption cases.[1]
When the term of the previous State Attorney, Shai Nitzan, expired in December 2019, the position remained vacant until 5 February 2020. Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit had initially objected to Justice Minister Amir Ohana's first choice and also to Eldad (Ohana's second choice), but eventually changed his mind.[2][3]
Eldad's appointment was for a temporary three-month term, expiring on 1 May 2020. In April, Mandelblit expressed his opposition to the extending Eldad's term. In a letter to Civil Service Commissioner Daniel Hershkowitz he claimed that Eldad had exhibited "moral, professional and administrative failings" during his time in office.[3] Mandelblit reportedly believed that Eldad and Ohana were trying to oust him.[4] On 30 April, the High Court ruled that Eldad's term would not be extended.[3][5]
