Transportation Minister Miri Regev and her Director-General have been criticized for a significant lapse in judgment and responsibility concerning the oversight of foreign aviation security, as revealed in a Flydubai incident. The article suggests they were overconfident with the expanded authority granted to the Ministry of Transportation's security division, failing to grasp that increased authority entails greater responsibility. The author expresses hope that voters will recognize this managerial deficit when choosing a future government.
In 2022, then-Director-General Michal Frank engaged in a dispute with the Ministry of Finance and the National Security Council. At the time, Frank, serving under Transportation Minister Merav Michaeli, insisted on relinquishing the authority to oversee foreign aviation security through the Ministry of Transportation's security division.
