Ten requests from government-ministry employees seeking whistleblower protection orders were rejected outright because Israel currently has no State Comptroller and Ombudsman in office, according to a report aired Monday evening. Under Israeli law, the comptroller can issue interim or permanent orders shielding public employees from dismissal, pay cuts, transfers, or other retaliation after they report corruption. A separate account described a whistleblower forced to seek costly relief in labor court during the vacancy. The report linked the legal gap to the stalled effort to appoint attorney Michael Rabilo as comptroller.
