In 2013-2014, Netanyahu met with Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon (Likud) a total of 53 times — but didn’t meet with the welfare and immigration absorption ministers even once, the Movement for Freedom of Information reports.
The full list of Netanyahu’s meetings — during the two-year period — shows that he met with Communications Minister Gilad Erdan (Likud), 38 times; Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz (Likud), 31 times; Economy Minister Naftali Bennett, 29 times; and Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman, 26 times.
The prime minister met with Strategic Affairs Minister Yuval Steinitz 25 times — eight times in 2013, 17 times in 2014 — and met with Finance Minister Yair Lapid a total of 23 times.
The ministries that met least often with the prime minister are pensioners affairs (1), tourism (1), health (1), internal security (2), environmental protection (2), housing (3), education (3), and science (3).
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
