Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said the Higher Planning Council approved on Monday night the removal of all planning and construction powers previously granted to the Hebron municipality. According to him, those authorities are now fully back under the State of Israel.

Smotrich described the move as canceling the Hebron agreements, signaling a reversal of the local powers that had been in place for the city. No additional details were provided about implementation or next steps.
