HCJ 5030/07 - HaMoked: Center for the Defence of the Individual v. Minister of Interior et al. Supplementary Brief on Behalf of the Petitioner
HaMoked’s motion to submit a supplementary brief in a petition to repeal the Citizenship and Entry into Israel Law inasmuch as it applies to children. The brief relates to the 2005 amendment to the definition of “resident of the Area” and the Court’s interpretation thereof in Hatib. HaMoked argues that the definition contradicts an earlier ruling by the Supreme Court and that it is inconsistent with the purpose of the law, as alleged by Israel. It also clashes with the obligation to interpret text in a manner consistent with the fundamental principles of Israel’s legal system, including justice, morality and human rights.
