A 14-year-old boy was killed by an unexploded ordnance in northern Israel. The incident highlights ongoing issues with the Authority for the Disposal of Mines and Booby Traps (ADMAT), which has been without a permanent director. The Ministry of Defense oversees ADMAT, which was established by law in 2011 to clear non-essential minefields and has been responsible for ordnance disposal since 2018. Its purpose is to clear these areas and ensure maximum safety for citizens.
The article criticizes several ministries for their handling of ADMAT and related issues. It suggests the Defense Minister attempted to stir ethnic sentiment regarding the lack of a permanent director, while the Education Minister is promoting political appointments instead of addressing failures within his ministry. The Finance Minister is accused of taking credit from officials he previously humiliated. The author notes that the "change bloc" continues to focus solely on Prime Minister Netanyahu.
