The office of Minority Affairs Minister Avishai Braverman is renting space in a luxurious office tower in Tel Aviv which has been empty and unstaffed for months, according to a Tuesday report by Haaretz. According to the report, the unused offices are two floors above his ministerial and Knesset offices.

A spokesman for the minister denied that the offices were empty and declined a reporter's proposal to go with him to the site. The newspaper later reported that the office will be used as soon as six subordinates to the minister can be hired, but until then, thousands of taxpayer shekels will be wasted each month on the facility.
