re: #186 MsJ

Could you possibly dumb down what your means? I don’t understand.

Sorry, should have written that mess better.
In a nutshell:

1) Based on a really old law, Israel has a system in place for issuing very rare warrants to prevent very sensitive national security stuff from being made public.
2) Such a warrant forces ALL Israeli media not to publish whatever the warrant is about. No articles, commentaries, not even web comments.
3) Such a warrant has JUST been issued regarding an investigation into PM Netanyahu.
4) They made the very fact of the warrant public (not a common thing with those warrants).

Also:
5) The investigation wasn’t that sensitive before; that this just happened means there’s been quite the twist.

Hope this helps.

Also, in case you’re wondering “Well, why don’t they just get rid of that stupid law to begin with”, the answer is that said law is one of several Israeli laws that are as close to “constitutional” as it gets, and are tied to many other laws spanning decades - it’d take A HUGE effort and cooperation by all political parties to undo it in particular, and is neither possible politically nor worth the effort involved at the end of the day…
