That question has now been resolved. Continue reading “Federal Court Rules Warrant is Required for Section 702 Backdoor Searches of Americans’ Communications”

The political reverberations of Israel’s ceasefire agreement with Hamas continue to erode the foundation the Netanyahu government strengthened itself upon across the 15-month war. Over the course of the conflict, Netanyahu’s regime took unprecedented measures to consolidate power in the office of prime minister under the justification that the war constituted a state of emergency that required effectively dictatorial powers.
