Snippet:
When a public employee who says he was fired for reporting wrongdoing sought emergency protection from Israel’s state comptroller, the office had no authorized head to consider his case. He turned instead to the labor court, spending nearly 90,000 shekels - about $30,000 - on legal action, according to an attorney who advised him.
