HaMoked – Center for the Defence of the Individual, The Association for Civil Rights in Israel and Adalah publish a position paper against the proposed Civil Wrongs (Liability of State) Law (Amendment No. 8) – 2008, which passed first reading in the Knesset. The proposed law is intended to prevent residents of the Territories from filing tort claims against the State even in cases in which damage was incurred irrespective of acts of war: The organizations caution that the proposed law is an attempt to revive the law unanimously struck down by nine justices of the Supreme Court for being unconstitutional. The proposed law, if adopted, is destined to be null and void and should be shelved already at this stage

The Supreme Court has confirmed that the Incarceration of Unlawful Combatants Law is constitutional, rejecting the appeals submitted by HaMoked on behalf of two Palestinians from the Gaza Strip who are being held in prison in Israel under the law: The ruling declines to address the Appellants’ cases and ignores the fact that they were arrested 5 and 6 years ago in the Gaza Strip under the Administrative Detentions Law

In response to HaMoked's petition demanding that a bride and her parents be permitted to travel from the Gaza Strip to the West Bank for the wedding, the state demanded that the Petitioners deposit a NIS 20,000 guarantee ensuring that after the wedding they would all return to the Gaza Strip, including the bride: The state accuses HaMoked of disingenuous behavior by concealing the true relief requested in the petition which, according to the state, is the “change of residence” from the Gaza Strip to the West Bank
