Knesset Member Tzahi Hanegbi is singled out for prosecution for political appointments. Israel is plagued by this practice. In the Histadrut trade union enterprises, 40 to 80% of administrative posts fall to relatives of the bureaucrats in place. Typical Jewish clannishness in conjunction with socialism and corruption turned ugly.
Hanegbi, as a Minister for Environment, appointed many relatives and children of fellow Likudniks (he’s now in Kadima) into the managing positions. According to Hanegbi, he somehow thought it was good that children of Likud bosses wanted to join civil service. Of course, they wanted sinecures rather than service. So Hanegbi now faces a choice of being convicted for fraud or stupidity.
