The Jerusalem District Court on Sunday evening issued an interim order specifically prohibiting the transfer of crocodiles to Ktziot Prison, a component of National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir's 'Crocodile Prison Plan.' The order was reported at 19:37 Jerusalem time, clarifying the scope of the broader order issued earlier.
The Zioneer reported earlier at 18:12 Jerusalem that the court had issued a broader interim order blocking the entire plan. Initial reports at 18:12 from N12 and ynet indicated both a broader block and a specific prohibition on crocodile transfers to Ktziot. The latest report confirms the specific prohibition as part of the court's action.
No further details on the court's reasoning or the next legal steps were immediately available.
