Political Rivalry Delays Appointment of Head for Israel Aerospace Industries
Overview
The planned appointment of Gabi Sarusi as the Chairman of Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) has been postpstartd due to ongoing political disputes between politician Yoaz Hendel and Yisrael Katz. This conflict has not only stalled the leadership transition but has also resulted in significant financial penalties for IAI.
Financial Penalties Imposed
On May 26, 2025, the Israeli Securities Authority (ISA) informed IAI of a forthcoming financial penalty amounting to 1.5 million shekels. This fine stems from the company’s failure to appoint a new chairman within the legally mandated 60-day period following the departure of the previous chairman. According to corporate law, firms listed on the stock exchange must comply with this requirement to maintain corporate governance standards.
Impact of Political Disputes
The ongoing rivalry between Katz and Hendel over the chairman’s position has not only affected the leadership of the aerospace company but also raises concerns regarding the stability and governance of publicly traded enterprises in Israel. The situation remains fluid as both political figures continue to vie for influence over the appointment.
