Israeli Supreme Court Halts Government Move on Land Authority Director Appointment

The Israeli Supreme Court rejected a request by Prime Minister Netanyahu and Ministers Smotrich and Katz to proceed with appointing a permanent director for the Israel Land Authority (ILA). The court clarified that its previous ruling did not address appointments during election periods. A dispute over extending the acting director's term, Yehuda Eliyahu, led the ministers to appeal, but the court directed them to use standard legal channels. Finance Minister Smotrich criticized the court, misrepresenting its decision as a ban on appointments until after the elections.
