On page 69 of the State Comptroller's report published today, there is a hidden detail that causes everyone who reads it to think about the meaning of the term "needs", and with a higher resolution "immediate needs" and run to evacuate in the restroom closest to their location, and perhaps also ask for silence so that they can concentrate.
And so It is written there, word for word: "In June 2021, with the entry of MK Naftali Bennett into the position of R.O.M. and the decision that the residence in Ra'anana will be used as an alternative private residence, the R.O.M.'s office is required, according to the Shin Bet's directives, to place temporary protective measures for an extended period" Among other things, it turns out, there was placed on the sidewalk, right at the entrance of Bennett's private house, a mobile toilet cubicle in a Yabil structure, I mean really luxurious toilets, for 12 and a half months.
So far, it sounds fine. Our excellent security guards have security and other needs, and also They deserve to evacuate several times a day, while they protect the Prime Minister and his family members with their bodies. But the language of the plot gets complicated. According to the data published by the auditor, Mateniho Engelman, the monthly cost of renting a toilet cubicle was, hold on tight, 103,000 shekels per month, and 1.29 million shekels throughout the entire period.

Since even members of the aristocracy with a particularly delicate butt would think twice about spending such an amount on comfort, we hastened to find out in Engelman's office, whether there was by chance a typographical error or a clerical error in writing the data. The answer we received is negative with an exclamation mark. The State of Israel did indeed spend almost NIS 1.5 million a year on the services of the security guards, an insane amount when it comes to services. What's more, that the amount is not embodied in property tax, because it is a road building on which no taxes are paid.
An expert in the field with whom we spoke, and who saw with his own eyes a photo of the restrooms that were the subject of the audit, stated that there are a total of six restrooms, divided into men's and women's, and therefore, according to his professional opinion, the product was not properly characterized for the needs of the number of security guards, since it is intended for large events. "It's like," he explained, "if an omelette catches fire in your kitchen, and the prime minister sends the supertanker plane to put out the fire."
In addition, the question arose, is the nice trailer the only place where the security guards can do number one and two during their shift, or did the state make sure to rent them a room or an apartment, where they can evacuate at the same time. It turns out that they did have spare toilets, and even several, in the villa that was rented for them next door to that of the Bennett family.

So much for the cynicism. And now to the unbearable ease of wasting public money. Suppose the security guards should be given an accessible toilet cubicle, where they can jump for a minute, without having to run to the nearby villa and waste time. It would be possible to settle for a luxurious and pampering toilet cubicle of the "Narcissus" model, whose monthly cost is 1,200 shekels and goes down to a monthly payment of 500 shekels for an entire year. Alternatively, for 100,000 per month it was possible to rent all the villas on the Bennett family's street, instead of sending the money down the drain by renting a Yabil building. But why save when it doesn't come out of your pocket?
It is likely that Naftali Bennett himself was not involved in the decision of which services his security guards would use, but rather the procurement department of the Prime Minister's Office or whoever deals with it there. But it's also likely that this publication will follow him like a wayward piece of toilet paper caught in the heel of a shoe.
One can only imagine what would have happened, if the Havila convenience had an indirect connection to the Netanyahu family. The new editions would open with a special needs flash.
