Coalition battles? The state budget? A difficult security situation? Traffic accidents? If you thought all of this was troubling the government ministers - you were wrong.
In the past three weeks, some ministers have been interested in only one fateful question: who will get to sit in the vacant seat of former Interior Minister Gideon Sa'ar, around the government table.
This is a chair located in a prestigious place, Since only the government secretary's chair separates him from the prime minister. The advantage: When the press photographers document the prime minister's remarks at the beginning of the government meeting, the minister sitting nearby is also captured by the television and press cameras (note to the government secretariat: Flash90 photographers are a bit fake about it).

And who won the great war? Transportation Minister Israel Katz, who even boasted about the achievement on his Facebook page - and only after he realized the scandal, did he quickly delete the post.
And so he wrote, while attaching a photo of himself returning to the place he had laboriously achieved: "Do you want to hear a curiosity? Today I was assigned to sit in the vacant seat of former Interior Minister Gideon Sa'ar, which is conveniently located around the government table. This angered one or two ministers, who really wanted the seat for themselves.
""For 3 weeks they fought a series of battles with the government secretariat - until the issue was resolved.".
