  • Hundreds of detailed work plans for government reconstruction have been developed by former officials.
  • A veteran official described the current government service as having collapsed.
  • Unqualified "ice cream officials" have allegedly replaced professionals with integrity.
  • Professionals who remain are reportedly suffering brutal treatment.
  • Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara is seen as a symbol of professional integrity.

Despite the collapse of government services and the appointment of unqualified "ice cream officials" under the current administration, former senior officials and organizations have developed hundreds of detailed work plans for the post-event period. A veteran professional official in one of the government ministries described the dire situation, stating, "It's impossible to describe how terrible it is to come to professional work meetings with the minister. All the officials with backbone have broken and left. Those who remain are only the lecturers, those with ice cream spines, who only know how to say 'Certainly, sir minister, whatever you say.' Those who are not willing to bend and do not give up their professional truth are suffering. The treatment towards us is brutal. The pillar of fire we look to is Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, and the understanding that if we leave, our replacements will be of the ice cream type."
