ABSTRACT
A well-documented characteristic of Israel’s national security discourse is that much of it takes place inside the courtroom and under legal proceedings. Granted, the Israeli Supreme Court (ISC) intervenes in security matters less than in other spheres of national life. Even so, over the years it has heard far more petitions with respect to security issues than any other national court in a liberal democracy during a comparable period. It has also passed judgment on such cases more frequently than any comparable institution. 1
