    On Sunday, during a hearing on motions opposing the State Comptroller’s investigation into the IDF’s actions on October 7, Supreme Court justices suggested they could lift the existing order that freezes currently under review by the Comptroller of the Army’s conduct that day.

    “A brief additional period is necessary to complete discussions between the IDF and the State Comptroller,” attorney Yonatan Berman of the State Attorney’s High Court Division said during the hearing. “We have not yet reached satisfactory agreement on these issues, but we believe progress is achievable. It is important to reach agreement and work together, recognizing that collaboration is the best way forward. Even although both parties have shown goodwill, no framework has been finalized.

    Two more weeks needed

    In response to Judge Noam Sohlberg’s question, Berman said it would take about two weeks.

    Attorney Elia Tsunz, representing the state comptroller, presented a different perspective.

    “Discussions between the parties have been exhausted. We have developed a framework to effectively manage the workload, ensuring that no combat units are affected,” Tsunz said. “While we are prepared to accept significant limitations, the negotiations ended without agreement. There remains fundamental resistance within the the Israeli army to the magazine.”

    “In our opinion, the discrepancies are not significant, but they cannot be resolved in just a few days,” Tsunz added. “We are at a very advanced stage, and simply granting more time will not solve the problem. We would appreciate their input if the judges are open to hearing ex parte arguments on the remaining deficiencies. This is not a matter that can be resolved in two or even seven days.”

    According to Tsunz, the problem is the IDF’s approach, while other entities have cooperated appropriately.

    “With the Shin Bet, we are currently conducting exams as agreed with the state. There are no problems, even on new subjects. The same goes for the Shin Bet. Prime Ministerand the Ministry of Defense. Differences with the IDF are not a matter of time.”

    Judges Noam Sohlberg, Yael Wilner and David Mintz met for a brief consultation before scheduling another hearing for Thursday at 3 p.m. They suggested that if no agreement was reached between the Israeli army and the state comptroller, the court could withdraw the interim order currently halting operations. military magazine.
