Last February, the prime minister's delegation left for Bahrain on a relatively small plane.
There were only eight places in the business department.
Two for the prime minister, two behind him for the security guards and one place for the doctor.
The flight was joined by the military secretary, the head of the National Security Council, the director general of the Prime Minister's Office, the secretary of the government, the head of the staff, and more.
In order not to offend anyone it was decided that no one would sit in the ward but in the regular seats behind the curtain.
But it angered the political adviser, Shimrit Meir.
She strongly demanded one of the places in the business department.
The eyebrows were raised, the embarrassment among the bureau members was great but no one wanted to cause a commotion because the journalists, some of whom noticed what was happening, sat a few rows behind them.
This is a small story that is an example of what has happened in the Prime Minister's Office in recent months.
Taking control of the prime minister's ear, difficult conflicts and working in a difficult atmosphere - the finger is pointed at the state adviser who announced his departure - Shimrit Meir.
One of the main questions is why Meir has just announced her departure.
Just before the visit to Biden and a few days after the opening of the Knesset session.
According to testimonies from people who spoke with Shimrit Meir recently, it appears that in her opinion the government has ended its path.
"The ceremony is over," she said, adding to the partnership with RAAM that "the experiment failed." The government will not hold up. Significantly political in the face of the partnership and do not get along with the messages they want to convey in the Bennett environment. The suspicion was directed at Shimrit Meir.
One of the main allegations against her is the fact that she has buried her hand in the other areas to which she has no connection such as the political, media, corona and more.
One of the most serious and harmful events for Naftali Bennett in this context is the criticism of the Prime Minister's residence in Raanana and especially the ordering of food at the Prime Minister's House in the amount of one and a half thousand shekels, which became known as the 'Walt Event'.
Meir initiated the response of the Prime Minister's Office that caused even greater damage.
The idea and wording were her initiative.
According to her, the public should have been reminded of what was before Bennett, during Netanyahu's time.
Thus came a statement comparing Netanyahu's expenses to Bennett and also a sting "Gilat is not singing my children will not shine" which provoked even harsher public criticism of the lack of class and downsizing.
Shimrit Meir's experiment failed.
She was the main engine for forming a government with RAAM, she is the one responsible for writing Bennett's speech which incorporated the phrase "West Bank" which angered the right base, she claimed that on the right Bennett burned and now the series of actions for the political center will bring him seats from the center. That the seats did not come in. The project failed and Shimrit Meir fled before the stain of the fall of the government was registered in her name.
