Look for the Kippa

Consider:

The new head of the GSS, Yoram Cohen, is a graduate of the Midreshiat Noam Yeshiva high school and wears a kippa.

The new head of the National Security Council, Yaakov Amidror, also wears a kippa and is the son of Irgun fighter, and former British prisoner, Tzila Amidror.  He once said:

Jabotinsky placed broad significance upon the principle that mutual concessions would occur only when the Arabs would despair of their attempts to harm us. Today, the colonel added, this issue will be decided by those who will assume power. “Just as when the Iron Wall article was written, so Israel is yet struggling for her legitimacy. In our times as well, anyone who strays from the path forged by Jabotinsky, entering into agreement formats without a strong iron wall–is doomed to failure.”

The new IDF commander, Benny Gantz, comes from a religiously observant family and in his youth, studied in educational institutions of the "Ohr Etzion" network.  By the way, the person he appointed as his close aide to head his staff office is Colonel Hod Batzar of the Samarian community of Elkana who is a graduate of the Ohr Etzion Hesder Yeshiva

The new Police Commissioner, Yochanan Danino, also studied in his youth at "Ohr Etzion" Yeshiva,

Think about that.
