The Knesset recently passed a significant decision to transfer the Israel Land Authority from the Finance Ministry to the National Security Ministry. This move is in line with coalition agreements between the Likud and Otzma Yehudit parties, showcasing a shift in administrative responsibilities within the Israeli government.
The Israel Land Authority plays a crucial role in managing illegal constructions and ensuring compliance with planning and construction regulations. With this transfer, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir will now oversee the Authority, enhancing coordination and efficiency in handling these critical issues.
This development underscores the government’s commitment to strengthening national security and upholding law and order in urban development. By consolidating these responsibilities under the National Security Ministry, Israel aims to streamline its operations and better address challenges related to illegal constructions and building violations.
