Petitioners urge High Court to unfreeze urgent local funding while coalition transfers stay blocked
The request, filed by Hiddush and Democrats MK Naama Lazimi, marks the latest turn in a dispute over hundreds of millions of shekels approved by the Finance Committee during the election recess
Assessment
A legal fight over frozen municipal funds is escalating, with Hiddush and MK Naama Lazimi asking the High Court to release urgent local money while coalition transfers remain blocked. The dispute centers on hundreds of millions of shekels approved by the Finance Committee during the election recess. The court's decision will test whether election-period approvals can hold when political transfers are contested. Watch for the court's ruling and whether it forces a broader review of recess-era funding decisions.
