- Netanyahu blocked the dismissal of Israel Land Authority acting director Yehuda Eliyahu.
- Minister Haim Katz had sought Eliyahu's dismissal over "intervention attempts."
- Katz had summoned Eliyahu for a hearing before demanding his firing.
- The decision halts Katz's efforts to remove Eliyahu from his post.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has decided that Yehuda Eliyahu will not be dismissed from his position as director of the Israel Land Authority (ILA). This decision comes after a request by Likud Minister Haim Katz, who had summoned Eliyahu for a hearing regarding potential dismissal. Katz reportedly accused Eliyahu of "attempts at intervention" and demanded his removal, citing the dismissal of two regional managers within the ILA.
Katz had initiated proceedings to dismiss Eliyahu, who also serves as the acting director of the ILA. The specific reasons for Katz's demand for dismissal, beyond the alleged "attempts at intervention" and the firing of the two regional managers, were not detailed in the report. However, the Prime Minister's intervention effectively halts any further action by Katz in this matter.
