Israel's High Court strikes down Arrest Law in unanimous 9-0 ruling

The High Court of Justice ruled unanimously to invalidate the Arrest Law passed earlier this summer, in a 9-0 decision, according to Amit Segal (N12).

The High Court of Justice unanimously struck down the Arrest Law (חוק המעצרים), which was passed by the Knesset at the beginning of the summer. All nine justices on the panel ruled against the law, according to a report by Amit Segal (N12). The specific reasoning behind the ruling was not detailed in the initial report, but the unanimous decision represents a significant judicial check on the coalition's legislative agenda. The law's provisions and the government's next steps remain unclear pending further details.
