Dozens of local council heads from across the political spectrum signed a call urging the High Court of Justice not to annul the appointment of Yehuda Eliyahu as Director General of the Israel Land Authority (Rami), according to Amit Segal (N12). The signatories include heads of regional councils, mayors from the Gaza envelope, the northern frontline, and central cities, ahead of today's High Court hearing on petitions against the appointment.
According to a report by Amit Segal (N12), dozens of local council heads from different political parties signed a public call on Sunday morning urging the High Court of Justice not to annul Yehuda Eliyahu's appointment as Director General of the Israel Land Authority (Rami). The call comes hours before the court is set to hear petitions against the appointment in a live-streamed session at 10:00.
The appointment has been the subject of legal proceedings since last month. The Attorney General's Office recommended that the High Court disqualify the appointment, and the court issued a conditional order requiring the state to explain why it should not be canceled. The Attorney General later informed the court she would not defend the appointment, citing defects in the selection process, as The Zioneer previously reported.
The outcome of today's hearing remains uncertain. The signatories' letter, which includes leaders from the Gaza envelope, northern frontline, and central cities, represents a broad show of support for Eliyahu from local government. The court may issue a ruling later today or postpone the decision.
