The Attorney General's Office will recommend that the High Court of Justice disqualify the appointment of Yehuda Eliyahu as Director General of the Israel Land Authority, reportedly over a claim that a member of the search committee holds ties with the Housing Ministry, according to an initial report.
The Attorney General's Office is set to recommend that the High Court of Justice disqualify the appointment of Yehuda Eliyahu as Director General of the Israel Land Authority (Rami), according to a report Monday evening. The recommendation reportedly stems from a claim that one member of the search committee that recommended the appointment has ties with the Housing Ministry.
This development follows a High Court conditional order (order nisi) issued earlier this month, as The Zioneer reported on June 17, which set a date for the state to explain why the appointment should not be annulled. The Attorney General's forthcoming recommendation represents a further legal challenge to the appointment.
The report is based on a single source; further details and the official position of the Attorney General's Office are awaited.
