Israel’s National Planning and Building Council has canceled a longtime 150 square-feet limit to sukkah balconies added to existing buildings. Also, from now on, such balconies will not be deducted from a building’s rights for expansion.
The decisions end an era of small and inadequate sukkah balconies and is a breakthrough for religious Jews who have struggled with such restrictions for decades.

Can someone elaborate and explain the story? It’s not very clear.
Simple, the Leftist Satanist anti-Torah Court self-appointed evil judges running the country can’t handle anything G-dly and holy. It’s time charedim stop hiding their heads in the sand and fight for judicial reform IMMEDIATELY. Money is not everything!
The sukka shall not extend over the balcony.
It is only a 7 day holiday.
No bracha is made in sukka on shimini atzert.
Men have to eat in sukka.
Over 20 amos? Consult your local rabbi. R’Yehuda is matir.

If understand this cryptic article, they are now allowing larger, new, porches to be added on to existing buildings?? This seems like a safety nightmare to me. What will be supporting these large extensions off the building? Frankly, any post-construction porch seems to my non-architectural mind risky and the bigger the riskier.
Not at all. Not only are they not allowing sukkos next to homes and fining the owners, they’re now condemning sukkos built on porches. Their goal is to throw down as many sukkos as possible.
