The High Court of Justice issued an interim order Tuesday freezing the law granting pardons to IDF deserters, pending a final verdict, according to i24NEWS.
Israel's High Court of Justice issued an interim order Tuesday freezing the recently enacted pardon law for IDF deserters, pending a final verdict. The order was issued following a hearing on petitions challenging the law, according to i24NEWS. The law, passed by the Knesset earlier this month, grants amnesty to soldiers who avoided military service or deserted their units. The court's decision halts the law's implementation until the justices rule on the petitions. As The Zioneer reported, the Knesset voted on the pardon bill on July 14, and the court had previously reviewed related legislation regarding the detention of draft evaders.
