The High Court of Justice will convene an expanded 9-justice panel headed by Justice Noam Solberg to discuss the law freezing arrests of IDF deserters, according to Israeli media reports.
At 15:06 Jerusalem, the High Court of Justice confirmed the composition of the expanded 9-justice panel that will hear petitions against the law freezing arrests of IDF deserters, with Justice Noam Solberg at its head. The confirmation comes moments after a series of reports by Amit Segal (N12) at 15:01 Jerusalem, which announced the expanded panel, scheduled the hearing for July 28, and named Solberg as presiding justice. A commentary published alongside those reports, as The Zioneer reported in its earlier dispatch, described the panel as resolving the coalition's political predicament over the desertion law. The hearing is set for July 28; the court's ruling on the petitions remains pending.
