Q: Does the material presented to the Court include investigative memoranda and investigative actions that have already been done? A: Yes. Q: Have you also conveyed all of the actions that are yet to be taken? A: Yes. Q: At what stage is the investigation? A: The investigation is still at its very beginning. The suspect was only arrested yesterday. According to the material that was found, he is expected to be investigated a few more times and the full future plan is before the court. I cannot commit myself to the number of investigations because I am not an investigator. Q: What is the suspect suspected of? A: What appears in the warrant. Contact with a foreign agent, leaving the country unlawfully. Q: Is there a version for the suspicions? A: {it is] all before the court. I have not investigated him and I will not investigate him.

Q: What are the circumstances of the contact with the agent? A: Its indicated in the secret report. As to dates there is no exact date, everything is in the secret report. Q: About the two suspicions are they related?

A: I think so. Q: Did the contact with the foreign agent happen while he was carrying out the second offense? A: The investigation is being performed by the security services. All the material is before the court, for perusal. I cannot specify beyond this. Q: An order restraining a meeting with an attorney at 8. The arrest warrant was issued at 9:30. Explain the gap. A: Its a technical computer transaction, [it took] until we took out the computer. He was arrested yesterday evening. He was apprehended at 19:50 hours. This restraining order is under the responsibility of the security entities. Q: In the matter of the order did you explain the suspect that he is prohibited from meeting an attorney? A: I did not review the content of the warning because the security service did the investigation. All the material is before the court and there is a secret report attached. The security services could not appear in court, and that is why I am here. Q: Did he wish to give a message to his relatives? A: I know that there was contact with his relatives. He was informed that he is under arrest. Beyond that I have no idea. Q: Did you inform one of his relatives that he is restrained from contacting an attorney? A: I have no answer about that. It is in the investigative material. Q: Was the suspect investigated about one event or about several events? A: All the material is before the court, all the actions taken from the moment he was arrested to this day. I cannot confirm the number of events.

Q: Can you confirm that the suspect cooperated in his interrogation and answered all the questions? A: I have not reviewed what was investigated and asked. I was asked to come [here] for extension of the detention. The security services continue their investigation. All the material is before the court. Q: How many investigative activities did you do yesterday? A: A preliminary investigation and a continuation today. I dont know how many investigations were done yesterday. There was a preliminary investigation. Q: Explain why you are asking for 15 days of detention? A: These are serious offenses against the security of the state and there is material to be investigated. Q: Are there details of all 15 days that require his continued detention, in the form of a work plan? A: There are not specific details of each stage and what is done every day. The actions that are detailed could change, because they are dynamic. They cannot be done when he is discharged. The suspect was arrested at his home in Haifa. Q: Was the search performed in one house or two? A: The material is in the investigative file. Q: Did you have a search warrant? A: Yes. I know about the search warrant at the up-to-date address, which the Israel Police has. I know one address, [REDACTED] Street. Q: Did you issue search warrants to two addresses?

A: I issued a search warrant for [REDACTED] Street, which is his address, as recorded in his personal ID card. Q: Confirm that the suspect has no criminal record. A: I did not examine his criminal record. The attorney for the petitioner summarizes: I repeat the petition. I ask that it be fully granted. The attorney for the suspect summarizes: This is a 23-year old journalist, with no criminal record, who was apparently apprehended on the Israel/Jordan border. Since his arrest he has not been permitted to consult an attorney. No notice was given to his attorney and/or his family to visit him in his detention nor with regard to the prohibition on his meeting an attorney. As you know, and it is decided law, that prohibiting a meeting with an attorney is a gross violation of the suspects basic rights. I ask the court to take this into account and examine how many actions are required when the suspect is under arrest. I ask that he be released immediately. Alternatively, that he be released under conditions. As another alternative, that the number of days required under detention be reduced. The suspect is brought into the courtroom, his family and attorney leave the room. The suspect: I ask to be told the names of the attorneys and the court gave me their names. The court has explained to me about the prohibition from meeting attorneys until 14 April 2014, at midnight, and told me that the hearing was held in the presence of my attorneys, who asked the representative of the police questions. The court has explained to me that my father, mother and brother were present in the courtroom. I have nothing further to add. Decision 1. $ have before me a re%uest to e&tend the suspect's detention for () days# due to suspicion of committin the crimes of contact *ith a forei n a ent and unla*ful travel to Arab countries. 2. $ have revie*ed the evidentiary material presented to me and have been persuaded that there is reasonable cause to suspect that the suspect has committed the crimes he is char ed *ith. $

have also been persuaded that there is the ris+ that if he is released he could disrupt the investi ation and endan er public security. 3. $ have perused the secret report prepared by the Shaba+# *hich $ have mar+ed ,M-(. .his report includes bac+ round# investi ative actions ta+en# and investi ative actions that are still re%uired# and $ have been persuaded that the security entities must be permitted to complete their investi ation fully# to come to the study of the truth. 4. $ considered the possibility of releasin the suspect for an alternative form of custody and come to the conclusion that at this sta e# there is no space for any alternative. 5. $ have ta+en into account the fact that an order has been issued to prohibit meetin an attorney and $ have also ta+en into account that the court must be permitted to oversee the investi ative actions performed by the security entities# and for this reason $ have decided to rant a number of detention days /than those0 re%uested. 6.
