Transport Ministry Security Chief Reported Holding Second Job Amid Oversight Concerns
What happened
Reports reveal that Avri Cohen, head of the security division at Israel's Ministry of Transport, holds a second job as an overseas security officer while leading official security oversight.
How coverage differs
Haaretz and Newsru emphasize the unusual nature of a senior division chief holding a second job given the high workload. Israel Hayom highlights the ministry's statement that the second job was approved by past management in 2018 and contextualizes it with recent flight incidents. Ynet broadens the focus to systemic budget and staffing shortages across the ministry's security division, citing a former official who warns of potential safety risks.
