Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The Law deals with extending the validity of a temporary provision enabling certain hearings to be held with the participation of detainees and prisoners via video conferencing, if the detainee or prisoner requests this through their defense counsel. The temporary provision was initially set for a period of two years until 31 December 2023, with the possibility of extending it for additional periods of up to two additional years in total. Under the Law on Holding Hearings with the Participation of Detainees, Prisoners and Inmates (Temporary Provision – Iron Swords), 2023, which established a different arrangement for the period of the Iron Swords war, the validity of the temporary provision was also extended. This Law severs the dependency between the two pieces of legislation and extends the validity of the temporary provision until the end of 2025. It also establishes a mechanism enabling the temporary provision to be extended for periods not exceeding six months each, and not exceeding two years in total.
