Netanyahu orders PM employee who worked with Bennett to be fired
News » Life Style
A senior administrator who previously worked with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for a decade was fired from her position in his office, allegedly because she stayed with Naftali Bennett, who took over as prime minister in 2021, the public broadcaster Kan reported.
Netanyahu had sufficient confidence in Lynor Ophir to include her in the so-called “aquarium” — a group of people who have immediate physical access to the prime minister.
After Bennett replaced Netanyahu, ending his 12-year tenure, Ofir remained with the new prime minister.
"Kan" citing government sources, she said that Netanyahu's inner circle was unhappy that Ofir worked under Bennett, and therefore she was fired. The report does not say whether the disgraced official received another position.
