New appointments in the hive:
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett announced today (Monday) the appointment of Adv. Eden Bizman to the position of Deputy Chief of Staff in the Prime Minister's Office.
Bisman has been serving as Deputy Director General of the Prime Minister's Office for about a year, and in his previous position he served as Deputy Director General of the Office of the State Comptroller and Ombudsman.
He previously served as chief of staff and as a senior adviser to the education minister, while Prime Minister Bennett served in the post.

Bisman (36), married and a father of four, holds a bachelor's degree in law and a master's degree in business administration from Bar-Ilan University.
He will take office in the coming days after an orderly overlap procedure, subject to the approval of the Civil Service Commission.
The prime minister also appointed the Jeep Foundation as a special adviser on international affairs and foreign media. Currently serves as the Prime Minister's spokesperson for foreign media.
Keren immigrated to Israel from England in 2009.

Departure line
As mentioned, Shimrit Meir, Bennett's political adviser, announced her resignation a few weeks ago, which will take effect on June 1.
Meir, who in recent months has become one of the people closest to the prime minister, was not on the close staff that accompanied Bennett even before he was elected to office.
At the same time, it is possible that her success was at odds: her relationship with the prime minister and the extent of her influence on him increased at the expense of his old associates, who as stated were not happy with the situation and accused her of forceful conduct.

Later, the chief of staff in the Prime Minister's Office, Tal Gan Zvi (41), asked the prime minister to end his term in the coming weeks, thus continuing the wave of departures near the prime minister after the departure of right-wing party spokesman and political adviser Shimrit Meir.
Gan Zvi was Bennett's secret man and accompanied him for about 10 years from the moment he entered politics.
In his positions, he served as the head of his bureau in the Ministry of Economy, as the head of his staff in the Ministry of Education and as his advisor in the election campaigns and subsequent coalition negotiations.
