Housing Minister Summons Acting Head of Israel Land Authority for Dismissal Hearing
Housing and Construction Minister Haim Katz has summoned Yehuda Eliyahu, the acting director of the Israel Land Authority (ILA), for a pre-dismissal hearing. This action comes just a few months after Eliyahu assumed his role.
The move follows a turbulent period surrounding Eliyahu's tenure at the ILA. His permanent appointment had been the subject of legal proceedings and a renewed review by the selection committee.
Eliyahu was appointed acting director of the ILA in August 2023, replacing Avi Simhon. His appointment was controversial, with critics questioning his qualifications and the process by which he was selected. The selection committee had initially disqualified him, but he was later approved by the minister. The legal challenges and ongoing scrutiny have now culminated in this hearing, potentially leading to his dismissal.
