Israel's High Court of Justice has ruled that Yehuda Eliyahu will continue to serve as the acting Director-General of the Israel Land Authority (ILA). The decision came after the court rejected petitions filed by left-wing organizations against Eliyahu's appointment, ruling contrary to the position of the Attorney General.
The court's decision is seen as a significant victory for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who view the ILA as a key executive arm for advancing their land policies. Minister Smotrich emphasized the strategic importance of the move for the country's future, stating, "I am happy that Yehuda Eliyahu, who has proven impressive execution and action capabilities, will continue in his role and transfer the revolution to the Negev and the Galilee."
Smotrich added that the Israel Land Authority is one of the primary tools through which the government plans to "transfer the settlement revolution from Judea and Samaria." The ruling allows Eliyahu to continue his tenure despite opposition from certain groups and the Attorney General's office.
