- Head of aviation security at the Ministry of Transport is a freelancer.
- He also owns a private company and lectured at a police college.
- The ministry confirmed his freelance status and approved outside work.
- Rubinstein spoke to media about a Flydubai flight security lapse.
Dvir Rubinstein, who serves as the Manager of the Aviation Security Operations Center at the Ministry of Transport and was the official spokesperson regarding a security lapse on a Flydubai flight, is not a state employee but rather a freelancer working multiple jobs concurrently. Rubinstein owns a private company and previously served as a senior lecturer in security at a police-affiliated college.
Rubinstein was interviewed by the media as the Ministry of Transport's security representative, providing an account of the Flydubai flight incident. However, it was revealed that he is not a civil servant and holds other positions. He is the owner of a private company named "Dvir," which offers various services. Additionally, he was a senior lecturer in security at Sigma 005 College, managed by the police. Following the recent publication, his profile was removed from the college's website, and he is no longer listed as a senior lecturer there.
The Ministry of Transport stated that Rubinstein provides services to the ministry through outsourcing and is not a state employee. His additional occupations were reportedly approved by law and are conducted outside his work hours for the ministry.
