An opinion column by Chen Arazzi Seror, criticizing the chronic managerial failure in state systems, focusing on the chaos at Ben Gurion Airport on Thursday, August 20, 2026, following employee sanctions. The author describes long lines, children sleeping on the floor, flooded toilets, and compares the scene to 'Bangladesh'. She attacks the conduct of Minister Miri Regev, who went on a private vacation in Morocco with her ministry's top brass during the crisis, calling it 'absurd'. The column points to structural problems: an outdated Ottoman law granting excessive power to workers' committees, the committee chairman's ties to the ruling party, and the lack of an additional airport. The author argues this is a 'new standard' of zero in management, and calls for remembering this at the ballot box.
