The Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday put off until Sunday consideration of Knesset member Simcha Rothman’s request for a restraining order against 430 opponents of judicial reform, members of a WhatsApp messaging group called “Looking for and harassing Rothman.”
“After weighing all the considerations, I found that the respondents’ activity apparently falls within the scope of a permissible political protest, in accordance with the rules of the democratic game,” said Judge Naeel Mohana regarding the petition for an emergency order.
