Palmor said that not only service that female CEOs in our office, but also The ministers.

The CEO of the Women's Lobby in Israel, Adv. Dana Meitav, also welcomed the appointments. "Our message to every minister in the new government is: 'Change begins in your office.' A real change government should work to correct the current situation, a situation where even though women are a talented workforce and make up more than half the population, their senior representation is far from reflecting their share," she said. "It is inconceivable that in 2021 there will be government ministries in which not a single female CEO has been appointed since the establishment of the state (!), And this is a reality that must not be reconciled with. At the first cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Bennett told members of the government to carefully select CEOs, then emphatically added "CEOs as well," and asked Minister Merav Michaeli with a smile if he had done it right. So first of all - it really is a welcome change of attitude, and now we want to see it in practice as well. "
