(21.2.2018) From 1999 to 2001, Filber chaired the Yesha Council of settlers, before serving as Netanyahu’s bureau chief until 2003, when Ariel Sharon was prime minister. Filber then joined Israel Railways to manage its assets.

Ahead of the last election in March 2015, Filber ran Likud’s campaign. During that time he signed a statement saying Netanyahu had no connection with the free daily Israel Hayom, a dubious statement at best.

Filber was named director general of the Communications Ministry in June 2015, even though he had no relevant experience.
