The Ethics Committee of the Israel Bar Association has lodged an appeal with the District Court against the National Court's decision to allow attorney Asala Abu Khdeir to return to practice. Abu Khdeir, from east Jerusalem, had her permanent disbarment overturned last month after she celebrated the October 7 massacre and denied the atrocities.
The Ethics Committee of the Israel Bar Association has escalated the battle over attorney Asala Abu Khdeir's license, filing an appeal with the District Court against the National Court's decision to let her return to practice. As The Zioneer reported on June 14, the National Court last month reversed a permanent disbarment, reducing it to an unspecified period — a ruling the watchdog B'Tzalam called a disgrace. The Ethics Committee now seeks to overturn that reduction. Abu Khdeir, an east Jerusalem attorney, celebrated the October 7 massacre and denied the atrocities. The appeal lands as the Knesset holds a session today initiated by B'Tzalam and MK Ariel Kallner on the Bar Association's handling of such cases.
