What happened

The Israeli Supreme Court ruled that a father who financed land purchased in his son's name cannot revoke the son's sale of the property to a third party. The court held that in parent-child transactions, the law presumes the property is a gift, and the father failed to prove otherwise. The father's lawsuit was dismissed, and he was ordered to pay legal costs.
