Only in Israel: Does the police orchestra handle immigration absorption?
The farce of the operation to absorb immigrants from Ukraine and Russia in Israel, sets new records every day: after the Civil Service Commission refused to allow aid from the IDF and the National Service on the grounds that the soldiers were not classified as required, they found a solution and sent police orchestra members to the battle.

This coming weekend, the State of Israel is expected to reach an absorption peak of ten thousand immigrants from Ukraine and Russia.
The people who will be greeted at Ben Gurion Airport are members of the police orchestra, only this time not with musical instruments, but with pens and keyboards.
Already a week and a half ago,
the Minister of Absorption, Pnina Temano Sheta
, asked to recruit at least a hundred more workers in order to properly prepare for the arrival of thousands of immigrants.

The Ministry of Finance refused to give new standards for the recruitment of temporary workers, as only civil servants can fill the position, while the soldiers and girls of the national service proposed
by Defense Minister Bnei Gantz
to assign a task, were rejected by the Civil Service Commission legal advice. , Appropriate classification to enter government systems and must be given special training that will take time.
The security classification claim is ridiculous.
The soldiers and some of the girls in the national service have a higher security classification than the employees of the Ministry of Absorption, and we have already seen how the Home Front Command's Alon headquarters, which is made up of soldiers, enlisted help in the corona, and its soldiers entered the same systems.
The issue of training is also puzzling.
After all, this is not about writing complicated code, but about typing in personal details and cross-referencing simple information.

"Get paid, but work very little"
As the distress grows, a week ago the Civil Service Commission issued a "call" for civil servants and asked for 100 junior workers who would be willing to join the Ministry of Absorption for three months, and would be rewarded accordingly.
Economist Prof. Avi Simhon, former chairman of the National Economic Council and former economic adviser to Benjamin Netanyahu
, sounded pleased with the initiative, "This is a way to streamline the use of workers who are already paid by the state.
Sure, there are employees who are paid on a regular basis, but work very little.
"Some of them will be happy to diversify their work and do something different for a certain period." Only at the moment there are not too many jumpers for the national mission, except for members of the
police
orchestra
. Right now more helping hands.
When the prime minister, Naftali Bennett, heard yesterday about this pessimistic manpower shortage, he exploded and shouted, "No one will do a legal jumbo jumbo here. What would happen if the illegal immigrants came to Israel now?".
After Bennett's outburst, the absorption server announced that it was not going anywhere until the problem was resolved.
"The legal advisers gathered for a consultation and came to the understanding that it is possible to receive soldiers from the IDF subject to special approval and at the same time issue tenders for temporary workers. The problem is that these processes take time. C and all because of inconceivable bureaucratic squalor.

Bottom line: additional standards will be assigned, not sure enough
The Ministry of Finance clarified that the Ministry of Absorption will receive an additional 25 standards for the ministry and another 30 standards of projectors for local authorities, in addition, a "workers' loan" that they will receive from other government ministries.
The Civil Service Commission says that "the request regarding the recruitment of civil servants to strengthen the absorption system for several months came from the Ministry of Aliyah and Absorption, in accordance with the decision of the Ministerial Committee on Absorption and Aliyah, and concerns the nature of work and the need for access to government databases.
" We received answers from the ministries about 50 employees who could be recruited for the urgent task, the Civil Service Committee approved the ministry's request for rapid absorption exempt from a tender of 100 temporary jobs to reinforce in the required places.
The commission acted as a mediator in light of the urgency of carrying out this important task. "
The Minister of Finance visits immigrants at Ben Gurion Airport. It is time to recruit some legal advisers to save the State of Israel the disgrace: Do Home Front Command soldiers not have the classification required to register immigrants?
