Information received concerning the Law on the Prevention of Harm to State Security by a Foreign Broadcasting Body (Temporary Provision), 5770 2025 (“Foreign Media Law”), that was adopted by the Knesset in December 2025. The Law will be in effect until 31 December 2027, and extends legislative measures first adopted in April 2024, which themselves followed emergency regulations to similar effect. An earlier extension of the Law was the subject of communication ISR 15/2024 by the Special Rapporteur on freedom of opinion and expression. The same human rights concerns expressed therein apply to the present extension, namely that the Law is not consistent with Israel’s international human rights obligations concerning the right to freedom of opinion and expression. The Law expands the scope of the previous measures and delinks it from emergency conditions, raises new human rights concerns.Alleged victims: - More details... | |
