Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The Law establishes the main principles of the arrangement set out in the Emergency Regulations due to the outbreak of the coronavirus, which regulated the participation of detainees and prisoners in courts and tribunals. Among other things, it was determined that each day, the maximum possible number of detainees and prisoners would be brought to court hearings, while complying with the Ministry of Health's recommendations given to the Prison Service and the Courts Administration regarding dealing with the coronavirus. However, if a detainee or prisoner cannot be brought to a court hearing due to the aforementioned restrictions, the hearing will be held with the participation of the detainee or prisoner via video conference, or by visual image, or in exceptional cases by audio only. It was also determined that from 16 June 2020, all initial remand hearings will be held in the physical presence of the detainee. In addition, provisions were added requiring weekly reporting to the Committee by all relevant parties.
