The Israel Land Authority (ILA) is heading towards a management crisis as the temporary tenure of its acting director, Yehuda Eliyahu, is set to conclude on Thursday. Minister of Construction and Housing Haim Katz has indicated he does not intend to extend Eliyahu's term. Furthermore, Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara is also expected to oppose any further extension of his appointment.
This situation could leave the authority, which manages and markets most of the country's land for construction, without a director once again. This potential leadership vacuum occurs at a time when land marketing is already at a low point. Eliyahu's previous attempt to be removed was reportedly halted by intervention from Netanyahu.
