Israel intends to establish a “historic” special court for Hamas members
The Israeli occupation state intends to establish a special court other than the courts in it today, concerned with trying resistance members of the Hamas movement, against the backdrop of the Al-Aqsa Flood operation that it carried out on the 7th of last October.
Reshet Bet Radio, affiliated with the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation, reported today, Friday, that the Israeli government’s judicial advisor, Gali Behrav-Meara, the Public Prosecution, the Court Administration, and the Public Defense, all believe that the ordinary criminal law, through an ordinary court, is not the correct procedure for enforcing it. The law applies to Hamas activists who participated in the operation.
According to the radio, discussions are being held these days to develop a plan to try Hamas members, and that the most likely solution in the Ministry of Justice is special legislation that would allow the establishment of a special court to consider the trial of resistance members.
The radio explained that the intention is to transform this trial into a procedure that not only discusses the cases of detained Hamas activists, but “in fact constitutes a historic trial against the Hamas movement in order to inform the world of the organization’s goals (..), its roots, its financiers and its activities.”
The Israeli Ministry of Justice commented, "For understandable reasons, it is not currently possible to publish about the investigative and judicial activities taking place these days."
