The defense claims unreasonable delay and harm to the sense of justice.

In the Gaza smuggling case, the hearing on the motion to dismiss the indictments has been postponed to mid-January, after the judges sharply criticized the prosecution's conduct. The defense claims an unreasonable delay of seven months, missing investigation materials, and harm to the sense of justice, and seeks to invoke the 'defense from justice' doctrine. Judge Shalev criticized the prolongation of the process and noted that the defense is limited in filing motions until the transfer of materials is completed. The prosecution is expected to summon about a hundred prosecution witnesses and more than thirty undercover agents. The indictment charges eleven suspects with serious offenses, including aiding the enemy during war, bribery, and money laundering. The defense argues that the indictment is being used to hold the defendants in custody as hostages, rather than for their trial.
