Aryeh Deri has been at the head of the Population Authority since 2016. He makes sure that it remains poor, falling apart, lacking quality personnel at the field levels.

Deri Klassi does not want a functioning office, but more power and a budget and a fertile ground for jobbers. This ongoing colossal failure has many forefathers: from Netanyahu, who as usual closes his eyes, through the right in its various incarnations to religious Zionism. The problem is that this is no longer about another budget exception for David and my nephew, but about the future of all of us.
