Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz has called for the dismissal of two regional managers within the Israel Land Authority (ILA), citing "attempts at intervention." The demand comes amidst a broader context of declining apartment sales and increasing housing inventory, despite ongoing discount programs. Katz reportedly believes these officials interfered with the tender process for housing projects.
This situation unfolds as the real estate market faces challenges. For instance, the company Parsakousky reported selling only 14% of the apartments in a major tender, indicating sluggish demand. The Likud party, however, has stated that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has decided that Yehuda Eliyahu will not be dismissed from his role as Director General of the Israel Land Authority, suggesting a potential conflict or differing opinions on management within the government regarding the authority.
