Western Wall Plaza land-sale controversy
The company faced public and governmental criticism after an investigation disclosed that part of the Western Wall Plaza had been sold to the Ezrat Menachem association through a quiet auction in 1999. Officials argued that the transaction conflicted with the site's status as a national, religious, historical, and cultural asset. Implementation was frozen after intervention by senior government legal authorities.
