The High Court of Justice has granted the state another, final extension to respond to a petition demanding unrestricted media access to Gaza. Justice Ofer Grosskopf criticized the state for repeated delays, noting that previous deadlines have already been extended twice. The court has now set a new deadline of January 4 for the state to submit its position, warning that a decision will be made regardless if the deadline is missed. This ongoing legal dispute began in September 2024, following a petition from the Foreign Press Association seeking free press access to Gaza.
