High Court of Justice

Herzog hosted the ceremony alongside Supreme Court President Isaac Amit and Justice Minister Yariv Levin, placing the two officials at the center of the same event after repeated court battles.

The admission came during a hearing on a petition filed by attorney Gilad Bar Tal, legal adviser to the Yahal Association, against what the organization describes as an experiment.

After hearing both sides on Monday, the three-justice panel urged the family to withdraw its petition. The family declined and requested a reasoned judgment.

The court’s decision will determine whether parties may use the information during the October 27 election to identify likely supporters who have not voted and target them with calls and messages.

Justices unanimously voided three appointments; a 2-1 majority ordered the rest of the proposed council to undergo renewed vetting.

National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said the High Court directive allowing visits to Nukhba terrorists would directly harm Israel’s security deterrence.

Two new petitions were filed seeking to overturn the Central Elections Committee's decision allowing political parties to track voters who have cast ballots ahead of the High Court hearing this week.

In the letter, titled “Your desire to hold a round of police officer appointments about a month and a half before elections,” Ben-Gvir noted that the election is expected to take place on October 27.

The petition was filed by some 100 expatriate Israelis challenging their exclusion from the voter rolls under an Interior Ministry classification known as “Code 51.”

Justices give authorities 14 days to secure families’ return and demand answers on why identified suspects, vehicles, and repeated attacks produced so little criminal enforcement.
