Even if Tal Gan Zvi retired "because of a sense of exhaustion," as everyone says, it is clear that this is one blow too many.
Gan Zvi Levant was what Netanyahu sang to Bibi: the eyes and the ears, the mouth and the hands.
He and Bennett have been one political entity since Bennett entered public life.
Levant will not simply fill the space, if at all.
The departure of Gan Zvi is a double and double blow to Bennett.
As the prime minister struggles for the survival of his government and his own political life, the person closest to him goes home.
So departure sends the message that the ship is sinking.
It will be very difficult for Bennett to find a replacement for Gan Zvi, both because of the great closeness between them, but also because senior officials will not be in a hurry to be interviewed for the position.
It is clear to everyone that Bennett may end his term within a few weeks.
Who will leave a senior position he has in hand, and be exposed in the spotlight and go through the rigorous selection and inspection process to become head of the Prime Minister's Office, if by the end of the process Bennett may be a full MK?
This is one of the reasons why no one stepped into the shoes of the previous dominant adviser who retired, Shimrit Meir.
Just two weeks ago she activated the refuge chair.
After her departure, Gan Zvi returned to perform more functions around Bennett, and it was assumed that the bureau had stabilized.
But he saw things the other way around.
As soon as Meir left, he thought the bureau was stable and Bennett was fine, so he could go.
In this matter he seems to have been wrong.
Bennett is wrong.
Unlike Meir, who has left from now until now and no longer comes to the Prime Minister's Office, Gan Zvi will continue to fill the position "in the coming weeks", according to the official announcement. .
Eli Avidar, Idit Silman, Shimrit Meir, Rinway Zoabi, Yom Tov Kalfon and now Tal Zvi.
All were abandoned or separated.
Something in their hearts probably means the end is near.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
