The following statement was released to the media by attorney Sharon Avni on Thursday afternoon 24 Sivan.
At this hour, an urgent petition was filed with the High Court of Justice on behalf of Shayetet 13 naval commandos serving in the reserves. The petition is based on the unwritten charter between the State of Israel and her soldiers and the responsibility of the state to give backing and support to them. This charter is not written on paper but engraved in their blood, the 23,447 security forces who fell for their country.
The court is asked to issue an order preventing the payment of money to support the families of those suspected of terrorist activities on board the bow of the Marmara. In addition, we call on the court to determine that the State of Israel should unleash the investigation of terror suspects and determine it is unlikely that Israel will express apology for the legal actions of its soldiers in defense of its sovereignty and lives.
The petition includes “conflicts of interest” of Ministers Moshe Kahlon and Yoav Galant vis-à-vis the agreement that was approved, and it calls for revealing the entire agreement to the public.
