Supreme Court

In a unanimous decision, Israel’s High Court accepted two petitions against State Comptroller Matanyahu Englman over his review of the October 7 events. The justices ruled that in some cases he exceeded his authority, while in others he violated the right of those under review to present their arguments.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he reviewed the affidavit submitted to the High Court by Brig. Gen. G., which supports Roman Gofman’s version of events at the center of the petition. Netanyahu said: "There are no words to describe the injustice done to Gofman."

After a marathon ten-hour hearing, justices took under advisement a petition to remove National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir. The attorney general’s office floated a compromise: immediate judicial oversight of limits on the minister’s role, plus a two-week window to nail down formal ground rules.

In a rare expanded hearing behind closed doors, Israel's Supreme Court is considering petitions to remove National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. Outside the courtroom, Ben-Gvir blasted the process, insisting voters chose him to set policy and declaring: "This is not democracy; I demand investigations and arrests of Gali Baharav-Miara and Ronen Bar."
