A new podcast by Prof. Rachel Alterman on “Property Rights of Households in Moshavim” where Prof. Alterman debunks myths regarding the role of the Israel Land Authority (ILA) and the property/inheritance rights of households in moshavim, including the implications of property rights infringements on moshav families for generations:
Prof. Alterman presents findings from a statistical survey that examined the impact of land regulation on family disputes in moshavim. The survey was conducted in collaboration with attorney Efrat Vash Aviram and Dr. Guy Kagan as part of a research project at the Samuel Neaman Institute. Prof. Alterman emphasizes: “Another regulation that requires deep examination is the expropriation of agricultural land without significant compensation. Neighborhoods and cities are being established on this land across the country, with the full value of the land benefiting the state treasury and not the families in the moshavim. We are currently examining the implications of the devaluation of agricultural land as a factor in harming Israel’s agricultural reserves.”
The podcast was produced by the “Registrar of Inheritance Affairs” team of the Ministry of Justice.
