Vilnai had previously served in the ministry and this did not benefit science in Israel
Minister Matan Vilnai, who until now has served as a minister without a portfolio, will receive the science portfolio, in which he has already served in the past. Channel 2 news reported that the appointment was agreed on Thursday between Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Deputy Prime Minister Shimon Peres.
It can be assumed and hoped that this time the case will be pure science and not as happened in the previous term of Vilnius where the ministry also included culture and sports. In that case science was not the main beneficiary of the combination.
Minister Vilnai fired the Director General of the Ministry of Science Atlia Rosenbaum
After being elected for only 3 months to serve in the Ministry of Science, the minister fired Dr. Atalia Rosenbaum and the people of her office. He didn't even allow her to stay for the overlap * Rosenbaum is the one who initiated the Rehovot Conference * Vilnai is the one who transferred funds from science to artists and athletes
Minister Matan Vilnai, who was appointed this week to fill the place of the Minister of Science and Technology, fired the director general of the ministry, Atalia Rosenbaum and the staff of her office upon taking office. Kol Israel reported that Vilnai even refused to allow Rosenbaum an overlap period with a replacement.
The minister's office told Walla! news that the position of CEO is a position of trust and he prefers that the position be filled by someone who will advance his plans. Minister Vilnai was appointed to the position for only three months, because he was elected without the approval of the Knesset plenum.
The editor of the Hidan site adds: On Thursday, Minister Vilnai ordered Rosenbaum not to come to the conference of the National Research and Development Council (NRCD) that was held in Neve Ilan, and with various excuses he also avoided coming to the conference. Several of the participants in the conference told me that the minister was going to fire Rosenbaum, but no one thought that it was a matter of hours.
"Rosenbaum promoted the ministry and science in Israel more than many science ministers and ministers in general" said one of the conference participants. As the readers of the Science website will remember, Rosenbaum initiated the renewal of the Rehovot Conference for the Advancement of Science which was held in June and within the framework of which a study was published that showed that the scientists in Israel are aging and that there is great concern about Israel's position in the scientific world to the point of its relegation to the status of a third world country.
Vilnai, on the other hand, was criticized that when he was Minister of Science, Culture and Sports he preferred to budget sports activities and give money to creators that the bodies they worked for avoided paying them at the expense of science. For example, 50 million shekels destined for the Israeli Space Agency were swallowed up in this black hole.

The celebrated CEO who promoted science
See a session in the Knesset on science from 5.7.04 when she was the director general of the ministry, notice at the beginning of the protocol her strange excuses for the lack of knowledge at the beginning of the protocol and then she was as silent as a fish during the entire discussion -
Did it lead to the advancement of science?!
Really - a joke
Tsipur whispered to me that the celebrated CEO wanted to continue traveling the world at a conference in Japan where Faberka had already been, and a visit was needed again, and the Japanese, in embarrassment, drew Minister Vilnai's attention to the fact that there was no need for a visit, this at the expense of the tax payer. When the minister realized the corruption and the "doing" She could not tolerate her for a moment and very wisely knew how to throw her like a missile without delay.
I agree with you Ola - she deserves it in a big way. She did indeed cause chaos in the office and everything is relentless evil.
I hope she won't win managerial positions again, and I did understand that you don't hear about her anymore and she has evaporated, and it's a good thing.
Worst CEO, you must have figured out exactly who she is.
She arrived, caused chaos in the office and disappeared.
she deserves it
