Three drivers in the Prime Minister's motorcade with about 30 years of service were recently fired from their positions in the Prime Minister's Office, as revealed on Channel 12's "Ulpan Shishi.".
According to the report, the exceptional step was taken as part of the headquarters work of Netanyahu's office, to ensure the loyalty of the employees.
The dismissal process was carried out without a hearing and they were not offered the opportunity to continue in their positions.

These are drivers who have been working in the Prime Minister's Office for about three decades, and who have worked in the past with many prime ministers, including Yitzhak Shamir, Peres, Rabin, Barak and Sharon - including the current Prime Minister Netanyahu in his previous terms.
The drivers said that they were called to the human resources manager last Tuesday, and she informed them that from that moment on they would not continue their work.
The three drivers appealed through attorney Sigal Peil, who issued an urgent letter: "How is it that after decades of working in this position with nine different prime ministers, including Prime Minister Netanyahu, after praise and compliments from every person who drove him or in the convoy accompanying him, including Prime Minister Netanyahu, our client was suddenly deprived of their position," the drivers wrote.
The drivers' letter also states: "This is while denying their rights as workers and as human beings, without any right to plead, without any justification, even ostensibly, without any procedure and without any reason, as if they were an immovable object devoid of rights.".
According to News 12, these are employees who did not arrive with one prime minister or another, but have been in office for three decades, and their only sin is that they were also the drivers of Yair Lapid and Naftali Bennett - and now they are forced to pay the price for it.
Netanyahu's office declined to comment.
