Following a series of failed tenders in Nahariya, Jaljulia, and Tel Aviv, the Israel Land Authority has successfully marketed land in Yavne. The Reisdor company won the bid to construct 104 long-term rental apartments.

A tender in Kfar Tavor intended to provide reservists with land at affordable prices has seen low turnout. Despite the state offering land for free, high development costs pushed the total price to over 1.8 million shekels, leading to the disqualification of several bids.

Following the compromise reached between the parties at the end of 2025, the Authority is expected to hold a lottery for 73 additional plots of land.

In the first half of 2026, the number of land tenders published by the ILA dropped by 63% year-on-year. Data shows that 44.4% of tenders ended without a winner.

Promises are one thing, reality is another: an investigation reveals that construction tenders in the first half of 2026 are at their lowest point, despite official assurances of an increased housing supply. We examine why this is happening and its connection to the power struggle for the ILA director position.
