TL;DR

Yair Golan, a prominent Israeli left-wing political figure, confirmed Sunday evening that he intends to close the Eli pre-military academy. The announcement was reported by an Israeli the source, with no further details yet released.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Yair Golan, a former IDF general and current left-wing politician, confirmed Sunday evening that he will close the Eli pre-military academy (Mechinat Eli), located in the settlement of Eli in Judea and Samaria. The statement, reported by an Israeli the source, came without elaboration on timeline or reasoning. The academy is one of dozens of religious pre-military programs often associated with the Religious Zionist movement, and its potential closure would mark a significant political move, likely sparking debate over state funding and ideological education in the territories. As of now, no official statement from Golan's office or the academy has been released.
