Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed the appointment of Yehuda Eliyahu as acting director general of the Israel Land Authority (Rami), according to a Likud statement. Netanyahu said Eliyahu performs important national work in the Galilee and Negev and will not be dismissed.
The appointment has drawn legal and political scrutiny. As The Zioneer reported on June 17, the High Court of Justice issued a conditional order against the appointment, requiring the state to justify why it should not be annulled. On July 16, Housing Minister Chaim Katz signed an appointment letter formalizing Eliyahu's acting tenure for three months. The Prime Minister's latest statement reaffirms the government's backing for Eliyahu amid ongoing court proceedings.
