2+ week, 5+ day ago (343+ words) The High Court of Justice heard on Monday a petition that could redefine the limits of parliamentary oversight in issues of security, detention, and ministerial discretion. The petition, filed by Hadash-Ta'al MK Ahmad Tibi together with the legal aid group Adalah, argued that the MK had been unfairly denied the right to visit Palestinian security prisoners " under a policy issued by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir (Otzma Yehudit) and the Israel Prison Service (IPS).
