Housing Minister Chaim Katz signed a new appointment for Yehuda Eliyahu as acting director general of the Israel Land Authority (Rami) for a three-month term, N12 reported on Thursday. The acting appointment comes after the High Court of Justice in July canceled Eliyahu's permanent appointment, following a legal challenge by the Movement for Quality Government in Israel. The court had ruled that the search and appointment process suffered from multiple defects. The Attorney General's Office had declined to defend the permanent appointment, citing procedural flaws. The new appointment is for a limited interim period, while the government proceeds with a new search committee for a permanent director.
