JERUSALEM, Jan 22 (Reuters) - Bezeq Israel Telecom
 BEZQ.TA , Israel's largest telecoms group, said on Wednesday it
had named Yohai Benita as its chief financial officer, starting
from April 10.
    Benita, 44, will succeed Tobi Fischbein, who earlier this
month said he intended to step down in the second quarter after
four years in the job.
    For the past three years, Benita has served as CFO of
Pelephone and Yes - Bezeq's mobile phone and TV units - and
helped improve their operational efficiency, Bezeq noted.
    He previously had been deputy chief executive and CFO at
Israel's TV Channel 13, CFO at Alon Blue Square, and has held
senior management positions in Zim Integrated Shipping Services.
    Benita "has an important role in maintaining the group’s
financial stability in general, and in Bezeq Fixed-Line in
particular, in this volatile period in the telecommunications
and tech market," said Bezeq Chairman Tomer Raved.
    "After three years in his current position in Pelephone and
Yes, Yohai is deeply familiar with the group and will be able to
reinforce our excellent relationship with the capital markets in
Israel and abroad."
