Minister of Environmental Protection Tamar Zandberg will raise at the cabinet meeting on Sunday the appointment of former Minister Yossi Beilin as chairman of the plenum of the Nature and Parks Authority, in fact the position of chairman of the board of the Nature and Parks Authority.
The appointment will go up even though it is a transitional government and Israel is officially in an election campaign.
Yossi Beilin previously served as chairman of Meretz, a former minister in the Israeli government, known as a leftist, and there is great concern in right-wing circles about his appointment.
Controversial appointment.

Sources on the right said: "Zandberg is turning RTG into a Meretz branch.
There is a fear that Beilin, in his role as chairman of RTG, could thwart or delay operations in the national parks in East Jerusalem and in settlements such as the National Park around the walls of Jerusalem, where the City of David, Herodion National Park and Nahal Prat National Park are located.
Beilin will be able to delay excavations, the operation of the cable car to the Old City of Jerusalem, which was recently approved by the High Court after many objections and more. "
Those who are interested in examining how to vote will be the representatives of the right in the government, including Ministers Ayelet Shaked (right) and Gideon Saar (New Hope).
Last month, Israel Today reported that the Minister of Environmental Protection planned to include two left-wing activists on the board of the Nature and Parks Authority, including Yonatan Mizrahi, CEO of the Equal Fund, who actively opposed any development in the Old City and East Jerusalem, and Sharon Karni, attorney Of the "Bimkom" organization, also a left-wing organization, works against government decisions in Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria instead of two experts from the academy and approve the appointments in the government, Justice Minister Gideon Saar turned to the cabinet secretary and expressed opposition to the appointments and they were thwarted.
After the possibility was raised that Beilin would be appointed, the Movement for Quality of Government appealed to the Minister of Environmental Protection to examine Beilin's appointment and publish as many special reasons as possible to justify his appointment "to ensure that this appointment is in accordance with public administration rules and public norms."
