Demonstrators lit a fire behind Netanyahu's house in Caesarea / Yoav Itiel
This week, records of cynicism were broken in the plague of political appointments.
The ministers of the looting government have already reached the highest command levels in the IDF. The Netanyahu government is also slaughtering the last consensus by using one minister who did not serve in the army, and a second minister whose military service is controversial.
It started with Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich criticizing Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi's decision on a round Appointments in the IDF. "Mr. Chief of Staff, you have full backing for victory, not for the hijacking of appointments. It is the new generation of commanders, who was not involved in the conception and failure (probably from the religious Zionist camp Y.S.) who will lead the restoration and correction."
Not that a minister in the government has no right to criticize the Chief of Staff, but a little modesty from a minister whose shortened military service is controversial would not have been harmful. A little down-to-earth from the Minister of Finance, who is considered one of the failures in the history of the country, was in order.
A little condescension from someone who was a senior partner in the 7th default October would have been welcomed. But the expectations are excessive, because in the Netanyahu government, every guest for a moment has been offended. Smotrich has criticism not only of the army chiefs but also of his officials in the treasury, headed by his legal adviser.
Therefore, it is no coincidence that he ran away from the annual event of the budget division after several The alumni of the wing planned to take protest measures as a criticism of his failed policy and when he came to get up and leave. This is the first time the Minister of Finance has been absent from such an event. It will probably also be the last time in the hope that by the next conference he will not be in office.
The Minister of Finance and the Chief of Staff. A little modesty and the way of the land from a minister whose shortened military service is controversial would not be harmful
The ministers of the default government made a regular practice of steamrolling as if they had not been in power for 15 years.
The Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gabir stood out in particular.
He criticized the position of the legal advisor to the government on the issue of appointments in the IDF. Here, too, excessive modesty on the part of someone who carries criminal convictions, who did not serve in the IDF and still dares to utter the name Chief of Staff on his lips would not hurt.
"Why do you say here that you do not find A source of authority to intervene in the appointments of the Chief of Staff, and with Commissioner Kobi Shabtai, you stopped all appointments," asked Ben Gabir, suddenly forgetting that she did not intervene in many of the appointments he initiated, some of them scandalous.
The dubious whitewashing credit of these two ministers who are controversial in the Western world The Naor is listed in the taboo for Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. They are the auxiliary wheels in promoting his personal survival.
Shas chairman Aryeh Deri also managed to forget the horrors of the war. Deri, who sees Yom Tov as the end of the government, hastened to promote the rabbinical law, better known by its name as the Law of the Ha 'Vavim' which will allow the appointment of hundreds of religious positions in the local authorities. It is no coincidence that some of the candidates for the appointments are close associates of Deri.

In the meantime, Minister Dodi Amsalem does waste time in Greek taverns, but he does not forget the appointment industry for a moment.
After the attempts to appoint his friend from Jerusalem Haim Froimovich as chairman of a rental apartment company did not go well during Michal Rosenbaum's time as director of the Companies Authority, these days the controversial appointment was approved.
All the members of the coalition were infected by the appointment fever. They have not yet recovered from the epidemic of "eat me drink me" style ' that has afflicted them in the last 15 years. Apparently there is no cure for this epidemic.
David Bitan, the chairman of the economic committee who is Amsalem's friend, demands that people from the periphery be given priority in the government board of directors and that the criteria be flexible and he does not initiate legislation.
But the Companies Authority explained that residents of the periphery do not submit applications and if they had done so it is likely that they would have been accepted.
"There are now 74 representatives from the periphery in the team. Everyone who applied from the periphery was accepted, but not enough candidates applied," explained the Companies Authority.
But Bitan is ripe with the claims of deprivation.
What exactly is the definition of "periphery".
Rishon, Ashdod, Beer Sheva, Ofakim or maybe Ashkelon?
It is not clear.
In my opinion, this is a washed-up name of areas of activity of Likud members or the ultra-orthodox sector.

And for dessert, a tender was published this week for the position of Director of the Government Companies Authority.
The final decision on the appointment will be made by Minister Dodi Amsalem.
It is interesting who will be chosen for the position in the end.
The funniest thing is if some disaster happens and an Ashkenazi celebrity like Froimovich is chosen for the role.
The race for appointments is explained by the fear that the Netanyahu government will not survive until the end of 2024 and many of its members will watch the Mishkan debates in 2025 on the Knesset channel.
It turns out that Netanyahu, Ben Gvir, Smotrich, Amsalem, Bitan and Aryeh Deri and the other ministers of the default government have forgotten the Gaza disaster.
For Netanyahu and his ministers, the 7th of October was a pipe dream from which it is time to wake up.
Their political cynicism brings us to a worse situation than we experienced until October 6, which is a dubious achievement.
Netanyahu-style 'total victory' will only be achieved after the gatekeepers are defeated.
Luckily the brave legal advisors are holding out.
