Israeli Court Stops Crocodiles to Negev Prison
The Central Court in Jerusalem has approved a temporary order to suspend a government plan to relocate Nile crocodiles to the vicinity of Nitzan Prison, pending a decision on the petition filed by the organization "Let Animals Live." The organization submitted a lawsuit, arguing that the plan aims to use the crocodiles as security and deterrence measures inside prisons. The project was allocated a budget of 21 million shekels, and the Israel Prison Service has begun implementing on-the-ground procedures. Opponents of the plan, led by Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, criticized the court's efforts, deeming it a disruption to Israeli deterrence efforts. They stated that judicial reform would be a priority for them after the elections.
