Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The Law on the Incarceration of Unlawful Combatants, 2002, is intended to regulate the incarceration of unlawful combatants, who are not entitled to prisoner-of-war status, in a manner consistent with the State of Israel's obligations under the provisions of international humanitarian law. Among the various arrangements in this Law are judicial review of the incarceration of an unlawful combatant, his right to meet with an attorney and his representation, and his conditions of incarceration. In cases where the government has declared war or announced the undertaking of significant military actions, the government, with the approval of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, is authorized to declare changes to the application of the Law. During the period of validity of the declaration, the periods specified in the Law are longer and the authorized level for making decisions under the Law is lower. The Law on the Incarceration of Unlawful Combatants (Amendment No. 4 and temporary provision - Swords of Iron), 2023, established, as a temporary provision, that in the event of such a declaration, the periods specified in the Law would be extended even further, the authorized level for approving restrictions on meetings with an attorney was lowered, and it was also established that discussions could be held by way of video conference. The temporary provision has since been extended several times, in various amendments. Under Amendment No. 4, the aforementioned temporary provision was extended until 31 July 2025, alongside an extension of the period of validity of the declaration under the Bill until 1 May 2025.
