Abstract:
This Article will focus on how the Israeli Supreme Court has gradually incorporated the Law of Armed Conflict into its judgments when reviewing the Executive’s policies, and will trace the historical circumstances and legal developments which have contributed to and enabled the creation of such jurisprudence. It will also address the question of whether the Israeli experience can be utilized by other jurisdictions. Part II of this Article will provide a brief overview of the status of international law in domestic Israeli courts and the legal framework that applies to executive action in Judea and Samaria and the Gaza Strip. Part III will describe the transition in Israel to an armed conflict paradigm with respect to the Israeli hostilities with Palestinian armed groups, while Part IV will focus on recent Israeli case law in this regard. These cases illustrate the gradual move by the Court toward adjudicating questions which relate more and more closely to the battlefield. Part V will follow with an analysis of the circumstances which have led to this transition in the Israeli context. It will also discuss whether the Israeli experience is comparable to courts in other jurisdictions which encounter similar legal dilemmas.
