Abstract/Summary

The blog-post critically analyses the (at the time proposed) Prevention of Infiltration bill (Amendment no. 4), following the quashing by the Israeli Supreme Court of Amendment no. 3 (in HCJ 7146/12 Adam v. the Knesset et al). It is contended that the legislation is more draconian than its quashed predecessor considering (a) the virtual halt in new entrants (b) the explicit recognition of the non-deportability of prospective detainees (c) the pretence of referring to the detention centre as ‘open’ (d) the absence of judicial oversight.
