Minister Katz Defies Netanyahu on Official's Hearing
Editorial illustration generated by baba News, not a photograph of the event.

Israeli Minister of Labor, Social Affairs and Social Services Haim Katz announced he will proceed with a hearing for Yehuda Eliyahu, deputy head of the Israel Land Authority (ILA), despite Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's directive that Eliyahu will not be dismissed under any circumstances. The move by Katz has ignited a political storm within the right-wing camp.

Netanyahu had previously intervened in the matter, taking it upon himself to prevent Eliyahu's removal after Katz summoned him for a hearing. This intervention was seen as an attempt to assert control over the situation.

However, Minister Katz has now declared his intention to hold the hearing, signaling a direct challenge to the Prime Minister's authority. Katz warned against attempts to lead a rebellion, implying that his decision is final and he will not be swayed by Netanyahu's intervention.
