The Knesset Interior and Environment Committee, chaired by MK Yitzhak Kroizer (Otzma Yehudit), approved for first reading the Kfar Shalem Rehabilitation and Evacuation-Construction Bill, which aims to end decades of legal uncertainty over compensation and rights for residents of the Tel Aviv neighborhood.
The Knesset Interior and Environment Committee advanced the Kfar Shalem Rehabilitation and Evacuation-Construction Bill to a first reading on Sunday, June 28, 2026. The legislation aims to anchor in law the compensation principles and property rights for residents of the Tel Aviv neighborhood, which have been contested for decades during urban renewal processes. Committee chair MK Yitzhak Kroizer said the bill 'gives residents the certainty and protections they deserve' and proves that 'citizens' welfare comes before any political dispute.' The bill was co-led by MK Katy Katrin Shitrit and supported by MKs Sasson Guetta and Ofer Cassif from across the coalition-opposition divide. The measure now proceeds to the Knesset plenum.
