Yesterday, the CEO of a global youth movement was taken in for questioning. He was released after questioning.
That CEO (whose name is still forbidden to be published because of the stupid law, which prohibits publishing the names of suspects for 48 hours, so everyone knows from the Internet what the name is and law-abiding people look like stupid dinosaurs), is also the subject of our future investigation, in connection with the JNF.
The police suspect that the CEO arranged a job for Faina Kirshenbaum's son at his movement (he no longer works there) and also arranged free trips abroad for Kirshenbaum and her family members.

In return, according to suspicion, Faina also arranged budgets for the CEO's movement from the JNF, which gives millions of shekels to this movement.
So how many family members did Faina allegedly manage to arrange at work?
One daughter was arranged a job, which had not previously existed at the JNF. An existing fund established a financial company, which also happened to be a convenient and very rewarding work arrangement for the chairman of the powerful workers' committee, Gil Fenner. This company also arranged a job for a daughter who was recently arrested.
Another daughter is getting a job at the Cattle Breeders' Organization.
The daughter's husband from the cattle ranch was also given a job, which did not exist before, also at the JNF. He is a 'coordinator' between the JNF and the "New Defender" movement, which receives many millions from the JNF. What kind of coordination is needed, which requires a special person for this? The JNF has the solutions.
The son, as mentioned, was employed by that global youth movement and I asked her – How many other family members does Faina Kirschenbaum have?

It is also impossible not to notice several other heroes of the affair, who also appear on the list of KKL-JNF beneficiaries. The "Eyalim" association received 60,000 shekels from KKL-JNF, some of which came as a result of a donation from KKL-JNF UK. KKL-JNF is also apparently obligated to many millions to the "Eyalim" student village in Sderot. As you may recall, "Eyalim" is part of the police investigation.
By the way, in our original KKL-JNF investigation, we decided not to publish a financial transfer from KKL-JNF to the social project initiated by Itzik Shmuli, while still chairman of the Student Association, in Lod.
We thought the cause was worthy and the contribution wasn't that big, that it was a shame to get into it. I'm not backing down from that position, but first, "Eyalim" also does worthy things and second, I understand that Eyalim was also involved in Shmuli's project in Lod.
KKL-JNF transferred 3 million shekels to the Tamar Regional Council for various projects in 2011-2012 and is scheduled to transfer more in the coming years. The head of the council is under investigation for the "Yisrael Beitenu" affair.
The JNF transferred millions to various projects within the Samaria Council, whose head, Gershon Mesika, a Likud member, is currently under arrest in the same affair.
In the previous investigation, we told, for example, about the budget that KKL-JNF gave to the Beit Midrash in Itamar, despite the opposition of the professional echelon, and about the pressure that the foundation's chairman, Efi Stenzler, exerted to make it happen.
We, God forbid, are not claiming that there is any criminal flaw in the JNF's actions, we are just saying.
And if we're just saying - then to all those who call me and say: How come you don't say anything about the fact that Eli Affello, the chairman of the JNF, and his assistant, Solomon Karubi, are senior figures in Moshe Kahlon's campaign effort, then I'll just say that Kahlon denies this at all costs, claims that he hasn't spoken to them about the issue, and that if they are helping him, it's on their initiative, not related to him.
Oh, and for those who forgot, Yvette Lieberman was KKL-JNF's biggest supporter in the legislative effort.
