Netanyahu Approves Controversial Appointment Amid Likud Criticism
Editorial illustration generated by baba News, not a photograph of the event.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved on Wednesday the appointment of Yehuda Eliyahu as the acting director-general of the Israel Land Authority (ILA). The decision comes despite sharp criticism from within the Likud party and its supporters.

Eliyahu's appointment has been a point of contention, with opponents raising concerns about his suitability for the role. The exact nature of these concerns was not detailed in the report, but the backlash from within Netanyahu's own party indicates significant internal opposition.

Netanyahu's decision to proceed with the appointment suggests he prioritized his choice over appeasing internal party dissent. The report did not specify the next steps or whether the criticism would continue to impact the appointment process.
