A State Comptroller investigation reveals that the Northern Rehabilitation Directorate, established after the 2023 war, has become a hotbed of political appointments. The investigation describes how the directorate's budget grew from 26 million shekels and nine employees to 50 million shekels and 42 positions, while absorbing political activists from Likud and Yisrael Beiteinu. Residents of Shtula and Kiryat Shmona testify that rehabilitation on the ground is not felt, and that many residents have not yet returned. The directorate's offices are located 80 kilometers from the conflict line. The 'Tnufa' Directorate responded that the appointments were made through a professional process and that the employees have disengaged from political activity.
