13-05-30 The Israeli Public Housing Act and the Israeli Supreme Court

‎חדר-מצב עידכונים‎ ‎צדק חברתי - העמוד הרשמי‎
Attached are the records of three court files that are indicated as related to the Public Housing Act (and refusal of the Ministry of Housing to comply with it).  All three court files are all petitions for conditional decrees in the High Court of Justice of the State of Israel.  Upon review of the records of these petitions and the petition in Zernik v Minister of Justice, one is likely to question what legal processes are conducted in each of them, and whether such legal processes have any foundation in the law of the State of Israel. The cost of housing is probably the primary cause of social protest in Israel today, and successive governments have promised to address it.  At the same time, the government refuses to comply with the Public Housing Act and expand funds that were accumulated from existing public housing towards addressing the housing crisis. The refusal of the High Court of Justice to accord such petitions due process, pursuant to the law of the State of Israel documents again the central role of the courts in the socio-economic crisis in Israel.
