JERUSALEM — Israeli government lawyers defended the secret detention of Palestinians from Gaza before the country’s Supreme Court on Wednesday, arguing that the state is not required to disclose where it has held potentially thousands of detainees apprehended during the war.
The hearing, which lasted less than an hour, was the first on Israel’s incarceration of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip since the conflict started on Oct. 7. It was held after an Israeli rights group, HaMoked, brought a petition to locate a Palestinian medical worker detained by Israeli forces during a raid on Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza in February.
The petition, for a writ of habeas corpus, is part of a broader legal effort by rights groups to figure out where and under what legal framework Israel is holding the Palestinians its security forces have rounded up during military operations in Gaza. The case, while technically centered on the fate of one man, could also have sweeping implications for Israel’s commitment to rule of law during wartime, as it faces global scrutiny over the conduct of the war, including by top international courts.
