[95292] The court rejected the petition against the operation of the 'Big Glilot' complex on Shabbat

The court has decided: 'Big Glilot' complex will continue to operate on Shabbat

The District Court ordered today, June 22, 2026, the dismissal of the petition filed against the Ramat HaSharon Municipality, which sought to compel the authority to enforce Shabbat laws at the 'Big Glilot' shopping complex. As a result of the decision, the complex will continue to operate as usual on weekends.

According to the report in ynet News, the decision came after a long legal process that sought to prevent the continuation of commercial activity on Shabbat. At the same time, News Arena noted that the District Judge justified his decision by stating that the petition had "exhausted itself," as the municipality had already formulated a policy for enforcing the law in the area.

However, the court emphasized that as of now, "it is impossible to determine whether it is effective because it was formulated 3 months ago," according to the report in News Arena. News in Real Time on Telegram also confirmed the dismissal of the petition, relying on 'TheMarker' reports.

The reporting sources do not exhibit a clear political bias on the specific issue of status-quo petitions, but the reports focus on the legal and administrative layer of the local authority's decision.
