Appointment of the State Civil Service Commissioner
Question
I don’t know whether you heard, but Bibi is planning to appoint the State Civil Service Commissioner contrary to the position of the legal counsel, which argues that this should be done by a search committee.
What does the Rabbi think about this? Should people demonstrate against something like this? There’s a real concern that this opens the door to outright corruption.
Answer
Absolutely. It is also an illegal act that is prone to corruption.
This is fully within his authority. Search committees are a method for suffocating the state and making sure that only their own people get the job.
