The government is expected to discuss today (Sunday) at its weekly meeting the proposal of Defense Minister Bnei Gantz and Finance Minister Avigdor Lieberman to appoint former Labor Party chairman Amir Peretz as IAI chairman. The government will be asked to approve the appointment despite the Gilour Public Service Appointments Committee disqualifying his candidacy last month, given his political affiliation and given the fact that he is not a member of the board of directors of the Government Companies Authority. Ganz decided to circumvent the decision of the Gilour Commission and bring the appointment for government approval anyway.
The decision-makers' proposal states that there is a "real need" that justifies Peretz's appointment even though he is not on the board of directors and despite the committee's decision that the conditions that justify his appointment are not met.
Gantz believes that Peretz, defense minister and former chairman of the Histadrut, has "special skills" and extensive experience in managing government ministries, large organizations, systems, workers and budgets to justify his appointment as a director in IAI despite the existence of a political affiliation, and later as chairman. Board of Directors.

Ganz's move, backed by Lieberman, is considered highly unusual, but he received approval from the attorney general who stated in a lengthy opinion that there is no legal impediment to approving Peretz's appointment, but does raise significant legal difficulties. The Movement for the Quality of Government has already warned government ministers that bypassing the committee is "a very dangerous precedent, which could lead to the overthrow of the committee and open the door to a series of future political appointments, ignoring the professional committee's rulings. This is a slippery slope." It is estimated that petitions will be submitted to the High Court against the move.
Last month, the Gilour Committee rejected Peretz's candidacy for chairman of IAI, as well as the candidacy of Amy Palmor, former director general of the Ministry of Justice, for chairman of the Electric Company. Palmor withdrew her candidacy for the position last week.
In addition, the government is expected to approve today the appointment of former Justice Minister Dan Meridor as a member of the next Attorney General's search committee.
Earlier this month, the government approved the appointment of former Justice Minister Meir Sheetrit, who was Justice Minister Gideon Saar's first candidate for the committee, but Sheetrit withdrew his candidacy following public criticism of allegations of sexual harassment.
Another proposal that will come up in the government will transfer the authority to prosecute city rabbis to the Minister of Religious Affairs Matan Kahana, instead of the Minister of Justice who is authorized to do so today, against the background of an audition against Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu, Rabbi of Safed, for statements against Arabs and the proud community.
Another issue that will come up in the government is the establishment of a ministerial committee to promote the integration of citizens of Ethiopian descent, headed by Prime Minister and Minister of Absorption Pnina Temano Sheta, as well as a decision to examine the continuation of Operation Tzur Israel.
