Eli Groner, who served as Director General of the Prime Minister’s Office under Benjamin Netanyahu, first encountered government waste in his very first cabinet meeting. 

The top Israeli financial media outlet, Globes, interview Eli Groner who told them that his attempts to curb unnecessary spending angered quite a few people. 

Now, he believes that an organization similar to the newly established U.S. Government Efficiency Department (DOGE) is needed in Israel, and he has concrete ideas on where to start. "How is it possible that Israel is at war, yet the government is funding a contest for 'the most beautiful mikveh'?" he asks.
