Eilat mayor seeks legislation to allow casino

Eilat mayor Meir Yitzhak-Halevy today asked Minister of Finance Benjamin Netanyahu and Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to either begin preparing regulations or enact legislation authorizing the establishment of a gambling casino in Eilat.
Yitzhak-Halevy said that under current law, a casino could be authorized through either a new bill, an amendment in the current law, or regulations by the Minister of Finance.
In a letter to Netanyahu, Yitzhak-Halevy wrote that he was writing in the wake of the Eilat city council’s decision to promote a casino that would include a center for fairs, conventions, and exhibitions.
