Adv. Hadar Israeli, a partner at our firm, was interviewed about the Israeli President’s unique authority—positioned in the delicate space between law and morality—to reduce sentences, shorten critical record periods, or even erase charges or convictions. The interview was conducted in the context of the current President’s consideration of the Prime Minister’s request for a pardon. Hadar explains how pardon applications are reviewed, outlines the professional process carried out by the Pardons Department at the Ministry of Justice, and emphasizes the need to weigh legal considerations alongside moral ones, while maintaining a careful balance between the rule of law and the protection of the public interest.

Adv. Hadar Israeli, a partner at our firm, spoke with Globes about a troubling new phenomenon: unusual betting patterns and extraordinary activity across financial markets and prediction platforms just moments before major policy announcements. These patterns are raising growing concerns about the potential use of non-public, insider information. Hadar explains that enforcement is especially challenging in the crypto space, where identifying the individuals behind suspicious activity is inherently difficult. With no requirement for verified user identities, a single individual can control dozens of wallets, each appearing as a separate user, significantly complicating detection and enforcement efforts.
