NGO Presses for Tax Discount Ruling After Interior Minister Appointed
Summarized from The Jerusalem Post by baba
The NGO Israel Hofsheet has petitioned the High Court of Justice to force Interior Minister Gideon Sa'ar to decide on municipal tax discounts for those with unregularized military service status by November 25. The government had delayed the decision due to a lack of a permanent interior minister, a reason now invalidated by Sa'ar's appointment. The High Court had previously ordered a decision within 35 days, a deadline that passed in May. Sa'ar's appointment occurs amidst coalition formation talks following the recent election, with the Haredi conscription issue being a major hurdle.
