Wheelchair-accessible intercity buses: How will it work? Because of this, the two, who have been in custody for about a month and a half, will remain in custody until the court hears the appeal. The appeal was filed after the judge ruled yesterday to release Feldstein and the other party. In the release decision, the judge wrote: "The alternatives that were proposed are good alternatives for normative people and that the respondents themselves are normative people until they got involved in this case." According to the district court's decision, the two will be released on bail of 100,000 NIS each and a cash deposit of 50,000 NIS. After the district court's decision yesterday, a senior official in the legal system said against the prosecutor's office: "Common sense and common sense should have led to an unequivocal conclusion that there is no danger that justifies the prosecutor's request to detain Feldstein and the other party." At the hearing, the judge said that there was an "evidentiary weakness" in his prosecution for violating state security. The judge also noted that Feldstein's claim about selective enforcement should be given weight, compared to the Prime Minister's spokesman, Yonatan Urich, who was not arrested or prosecuted.
