The craziest part (almost) no one knows👇

In Israel, most people don’t actually own the land their home sits on. Around 93% of the land is owned by the state and managed by the Israel Land Authority (ILA). When you “buy” a home, you’re typically leasing the land from the Israel Land Authority (ILA)—usually under long-term leases of 49 or 98 years. That means the state retains significant control over what happens to the land, including redevelopment plans, rezoning, or repossession under certain conditions.
