Police have declared Yisrael Einhorn a “fugitive criminal” – the first time this has been stated in court – during a hearing in Rishon Letzion regarding the alleged leak of classified documents to a German newspaper. We discuss Einhorn’s alleged involvement in the Qatargate scandal.
Israel is in an election year,and the government intends to pass legislation aimed at weakening the High Court and loosening legal restraints on government actions.We examine the proposed bills and their potential impact on Israeli society.
A Jewish American man wiht a three-year Israel residency visa was recently denied entry based on a police proposal, citing his status as a “left-wing anarchist.” We cover this case and the 2025 amendment to the law for Entry into Israel, which allows denying entry to foreign nationals who publicly call for a boycott of Israel, deny the holocaust, deny the October 7, 2023, massacres, or publicly support putting Israeli citizens on trial in foreign courts for war crimes.
