The High Court of Justice rejects the petitions filed against the implementation of the hostage-ceasefire deal with Hamas.
“It is not our place or custom to intervene in matters of this type in which the scope of judicial review is extremely narrow,” the judges’ decision states, according to Hebrew-language media reports.
The petitions had called for the court to intervene to prevent the release of Palestinian security prisoners as part of the agreement.
