A/HRC/41/35/Add.2 Table 4 Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories: status of implementation of recommendations Recommendation Status To the Government of Israel Refrain from adopting laws that are inconsistent with the obligations of Israel under international human rights law (para. 98) Contravened. Serious concerns are raised as to the compatibility with international human rights law of the Nation-State Law of 2018, amendments to the Entry into Israel Law passed in 2017 and the Transparency Law of 2016.

Ensure that all journalists in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, can work without undue interference; release journalists who have been arbitrarily detained or ensure that they are promptly brought before a court; investigate all attacks against journalists and bring perpetrators to account (para. 103) Contravened.
