A political and legal tempest has erupted at Netanya City Hall following the unexpected summons of Chief City Engineer and Head of the Engineering Administration, Sharon Fishman, to a pre-dismissal hearing less than two years after taking office. The municipality’s summons reportedly cites disputes regarding attendance records, project timelines, and friction with the local planning committee leadership.
The summons triggered sharp backlash from opposition city council members. Council representatives Adv. Elad Cohen and Tali Molner held an urgent meeting with City Director General Adv. Moshe Sharli. Speaking on 90FM Radio’s «Midday Journal,» Adv. Cohen fiercely criticized the municipal leadership and condemned the leaking of the official hearing letter to news outlets prior to due process.
«After the full hearing letter was leaked to the radio, causing severe damage to the engineer’s professional standing, how can anyone claim this is being conducted in good faith?» Cohen argued. He underlined that the city engineer functions as a vital public gatekeeper over planning and construction, pledging that opposition members will closely monitor the integrity of the process.
