Against the backdrop of the storm of leaks, an atmosphere of chaos and paranoia has recently prevailed in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office: everyone suspects everyone and the general sense of disgust is increasing.
After Ma'ariv published the proposal to subject the employees to polygraph tests, today (Thursday) new details are revealed about what is happening in the office.
Some of the prominent and well-known figures in Netanyahu's environment are these days with one foot outside the bureau.
The most senior person who may soon find himself outside the office is the director general of the office, Yossi Shelli, who received widespread criticism for his performance during the war - and before it.
The bureau is trying to arrange a position for him as an ambassador in one of the countries of the world.

Netanyahu's adviser, Topaz Luke, according to estimates, will not remain in his position for much longer.
This is against the background of a feeling of mutual exhaustion after nine years, and claims about his recent performance.
Spokesman Ofer Golan is also less present in his position, and most of the time he is abroad.
Other officials against whom criticism is raised in the office are Likud spokesman Guy Levy, who according to estimates will not last long in office, Moshik Aviv, head of the national information system, and chief of staff Tzachi Braverman. The CEO of Likud, Tzuri Siso, is also considering his steps and aspires to a diplomatic position or an appointment in the KKL-Junk.

The biggest drama unfolded around Efi Azoulai, the head of the house in the Prime Minister's residence, and the man closest to Sara Netanyahu for years and her executive arm.
Those who know him know that there is no one who knows more explosive secrets than him.
And he is also not one of those who give up in the face of authority.
Netanyahu is now trying to arrange a job for him, bypassing the commission and his entanglements as a development projector in the Golan Heights.
Earlier this week, as mentioned, it was reported in Maariv that one of the senior members of the Prime Minister's staff was even put on leave until the matter was clarified due to fears of leaks, according to several sources close to the Prime Minister.
Similar criticism is also heard among Likud officials, who claim that "the Jewish wars and the wave of leaks in the bureau are hurting Netanyahu and adversely affecting the functioning of the Prime Minister's staff." According to a report by Yaron Avraham last night, the person suspected of the leak and put on leave is the director of the bureau Yair Kasparios.
Losing grip in the office?

In the meantime, according to the sources familiar with the incident, the office recently had the idea of conducting a polygraph test for all faculty members and thereby locating the possible leakers.
