The Jerusalem District Court banned Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir from using crocodiles to guard prisons housing terrorists.
Consensus

- The ban was based on a petition filed by the animal rights organization Let the Animals Live.
- The initiative involved constructing a 170-meter moat with crocodiles at the Ktziot prison in the Negev desert.
- The Ministry of National Security had reclassified Nile crocodiles as 'farmed wild animals' to enable their use in this project.
- Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir criticized the court's decision, claiming the judiciary was siding with terrorists.
- The court's decision halted the transportation and deployment of crocodiles to the prison until further review.
