Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The Law is intended to structure the court's discretion regarding the photographing and publication of a photograph of a suspect held in detention before an indictment is filed, in the courtroom, and clarifies that the court must approve this only for special reasons to be recorded, and if it is convinced that there is a genuine public interest that outweighs the harm to the suspect's dignity. A similar provision shall apply in the military courts as well. In addition, a prohibition is established on the publication of photographs of such suspects taken inside the court building (outside the courtroom), unless the detainee cannot be identified, or the consent of the court or of the suspect to the publication has been given.
