Minister of Construction and Housing Haim Katz has decided to extend the tenure of Yehuda Eliyahu as the acting director of the Israel Land Authority (ILA) for an additional three months, or until a permanent director is appointed. The decision follows a clarification meeting involving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, during which disputes between the parties were addressed.
This move comes after a High Court of Justice ruling that permitted Eliyahu to continue in his role. Katz announced the decision after the meeting with Eliyahu, stating he had examined Eliyahu's claims and considered the matter. Eliyahu was initially appointed as acting director on July 16, 2026, for a three-month term that was set to expire soon.
Katz had previously summoned Eliyahu for a hearing in September regarding the potential termination of his role. However, after reviewing Eliyahu's arguments and deliberating, Katz opted to keep him in the position and extend his term, in line with the court's decision. The minister expressed his satisfaction with the High Court's ruling and emphasized the importance of promoting settlement in the Negev and Galilee regions.
