Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit ruled today (Wednesday) in an opinion that there is no validity in limiting demonstrations to a distance of up to a kilometer from one's place of residence - until the government establishes appropriate regulations.
The reason: The amendment that restricts demonstrations was made in the Great Corona Law, which is a framework law - which authorizes the government to enact appropriate regulations for emergency decisions.
Therefore, the approval of the law - which passed last night on second and third reading in the Knesset plenum - is not sufficient, and this requires the establishment of a specific regulation on the subject.

It should be noted that the regulations will be amended tonight.
Until then, it will not be possible to limit a demonstration due to distance, but only due to gatherings of more than 20 participants.
Under the law to be enacted tonight, protests will only be allowed within a kilometer of residence and in pods of up to 20 participants. The law is valid for a week, but the government can extend it once a week for a total of 21 days.
