Israel, the Supreme Court, and its treatment of major national security cases | Basic Law

Описание: Is Israel's judicial system endangering its national security?

Aylana Meisel, Executive Director of the Israel Law and Liberty Forum, sits down with veteran investigative journalist Akiva Bigman to expose how unchecked judicial power has reshaped, and even weakened, Israel’s ability to defend itself.

Bigman, Editor-in-Chief of Mida and former chief investigative reporter at Channel 14, walks us through decades of legal overreach from the Rabin era to the Oct. 7, 2023 massacre. Together, they explore how the Israeli Supreme Court has intervened in counterterror policy, dictated military engagement rules and restricted the IDF’s ability to defend the border against Hamas.

Key topics discussed:

The 2018 Gaza border protests and how Supreme Court pressure altered IDF rules of engagement
The collapse of Israel’s “defensive perimeter” and its connection to the Oct. 7, 2023attacks
Historical precedents, including the “neighbor procedure,” targeted killings and the siege of the Church of the Nativity
The role of foreign-funded NGOs in influencing Israeli court cases
The growing consensus that security issues should be off-limits to judicial activism
