- Transportation Ministry security chief holds a second paid job.
- The official claims he received approval for the role.
- Such dual employment is considered unusual for senior officials.
Avri Cohen, the head of the Security Department at Israel's Ministry of Transportation, who is also responsible for inspecting foreign aircrews arriving in the country, is concurrently holding a second, paid position. Cohen also serves occasionally as a "cadet security officer," responsible for security at an overseas airport on behalf of Israeli airlines. This work is separate from his official duties and provides him with additional financial compensation.
Cohen claims he received approval for this second job from the Director-General of the Ministry of Transportation in 2018. However, interviews conducted by Haaretz indicate that holding a second job while in a senior position like department head is highly unusual due to the significant workload associated with such roles.
