Diaspora Minister Amichai Shikli sharply attacked the expected appointment of Housing and Construction Ministry Director General Yehuda Morgenstern, a Gur Hasid, as acting director of the Israel Land Authority. "There's a difference between legislating a draft law that isn't ideal, but is much better than the one Liberman and Gantz proposed, and a fire sale of state lands to the Gur Hasidic sect," Shikli said. According to him, "The head of the ILA must generally and particularly at this time be a person driven by Zionism, strengthening Jewish settlement in the Galilee and Negev, and supporting IDF soldiers and reserve duty personnel."
