Deliberate Avoidance of Legal Proceedings
The law to deport families of terrorists, approved in October 2024 by a vote of 61 to 41, has not been implemented even once. An investigation by Nettael Bandel and Amir Ettinger in 'Musaf LeShabbat' reveals that the Deputy Attorney General, Adv. Gil Limon, is stalling its implementation through internal protocols, without transparency or public debate. The author, Yuval Elbashan, compares this to the enforcement of the draft law on Haredim, and claims it is a deliberate avoidance stemming from an ideological stance.
The law to deport families of terrorists, approved in the Knesset plenum in October 2024 by a vote of 61 in favor versus 41 against, has not been implemented even once to this day. An investigation by Nettael Bandel and Amir Ettinger in 'Musaf LeShabbat' of 'Yedioth Ahronoth' reveals that the one stalling the law is precisely the Deputy Attorney General, Adv. Gil Limon, through internal protocols, from a promise to 'issue guidelines' to a review 'gradually'. The author, Yuval Elbashan, claims this is a de facto cancellation, without transparency, public debate, or the possibility of correction. He compares this to the enforcement of the Security Service Law towards Haredi draft evaders, where the ministry took practical steps, and determines that the contrast teaches of a deliberate avoidance stemming from an ideological stance. Elbashan emphasizes that the shadow mechanism operates without external oversight, and concludes that when mechanisms are disabled, a law can be killed easily.
