Israel's Supreme Court, sitting as the High Court of Justice (Bagatz), has rejected petitions filed by left-wing organizations seeking to prevent Yehuda Eliyahu from continuing in his role as acting Director General of the Israel Land Authority. The court's decision allows Eliyahu to remain in his position, a move supported by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The ruling effectively sides with the government's position against the petitioners.
Eliyahu's appointment has been a point of contention, with critics arguing against his continued tenure. However, the court's dismissal of the petitions signifies a legal victory for the government on this matter. The decision was framed by supporters as a step towards "transferring the settlement revolution to the Negev and Galilee."
