Shortly after the release of the troubling PISA test results among Israeli students, Education Minister Yoav Kisch pointed an accusatory finger and once again announced his intention to advance the dismissal of Rama Director General Gal Alon, citing a 'lack of trust.' In the background is a severe dispute over the findings of the Tnufa science test. Kisch said there is 'no dispute whatsoever' about the PISA test results and that the gaps 'relate to interpretation.' According to Kisch, he is not surprised by the results, since 'the tests took place about a year and a half after the outbreak of the war, the hostages have not yet returned, our forces are inside Gaza and Lebanon and there has still been no decisive victory.'
