Access to the sources of judicial information in Israel and the limits imposed by the «national security»

Abstract

The israeli legal system guarantees the freedom of expression and information, but with limits that, in some cases, may be considered excessive. This happens especially in judicial proceedings related to the security of the State, where even governs the «military censorship». The present paper analyzes this problem, as well as the work of journalists regarding the judicial proceedings. While there has been some evolution, the limits to the freedom of the press are many, but in the geographical environment of the State of Israel, it is the country that allows more freedom in this area.
