The protesters, organized by the Peace Partnership coalition, demanded an end to the war, chanting “War will not bring freedom to anyone in the region."

The petitions involve wartime restrictions on anti-war demonstrations and the number of worshippers allowed at the Western Wall.

The police arrests in defiance of a court ruling pose a real danger to democratic norms but in parallel, the court must take into account the reality of wartime. 

Sunday’s decision signals that the justices are no longer dealing only with one night of demonstrations, but with the question of whether the state has a policy for protests under wartime conditions.

The enforced restrictions at the Western Wall sparked controversy after the High Court intervened in the dispute over Saturday night’s anti-war protests.

The petition comes a day after the High Court intervened in the dispute over anti-war protests, criticizing the Home Front Command’s framework and later ordering the state to allow demonstrations.

Protests targeting the UAE Embassy in Damascus spark regional condemnation, with Gulf nations criticizing the attack as a violation of international law, while Syria seeks to restore UAE ties.

Demonstrators carried signs reading “We must stop” and “Bibi will kill us all,” while about 200 people gathered at Horev Junction in Haifa.

Amirhossein Hatami was among 11 men said to have been at imminent risk of execution, and who had been "subjected to torture and other ill-treatment in detention."
