Attorney General postpones E1 settlement tender deadline until after October 27 election

Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara ordered a one-month postponement of the tender deadline for 1,234 housing units in the E1 settlement area, citing concerns about electioneering during the campaign period. The Ma'aleh Adumim Municipality petitioned the Supreme Court against the postponement, arguing the tender process began long before the election was called. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich accused the AG of election meddling and called on the Central Elections Committee chairman to intervene.
