of increasing the security of the State of Israel is a clear halachic consideration." It should be noted that these words were written by all those concerned, in reference to the situation that prevailed prior to the amendments to the Extradition Law in 1999 and 2001.
Different opinions have arisen, all of them are loved, all are clear. Without pretension to a halakhic ruling, it seems to me that the approach reflected by Justice (as he was then called) Alon in the case of Aloni v. Minister of Justice [16], is also consistent in contexts, as in our case, as in the words of the former judge of the Great Court, Rabbi Eliezer Waldenberg, in Responsa Tzitz Eliezer 18:2 [5], who sufficed with the extradition that deals with death, and this is what he said: "And it is worthwhile to add this as well, for we should know that in the case of a case where he is only required to be sentenced to a prison sentence, and not to death, and even when the matter is in doubt, then it has nothing to do with that religion of ours, one of you, etc. [the case of an enemy in a siege who wanted to hand over one of the besieged to him, and if not, he would kill them all - A.R.]... and then they are permitted to give it to the public for the benefit of the public... And especially when the accusation is real." See also the position of the Jerusalem Regional Rabbinical Court, Rabbi A. Basri, "The Interest of the Individual vs. the Public Good - Fear of Agunot vs. Extradition Order" [6], and his conclusion that concern for agunot (as in the case of Aloni v. Minister of Justice [16]) precludes an extradition order. See also S. Rabinowitz, "On the Attribute of Mercy in Judgment - 'And You shall walk in His ways'" [7]. Finally, there is no denying that the position of Jewish law is complex, and the preference in its interpretation is to limit the extradition when there is another choice. However, even according to those who oppose extradition, a large part of the difficulties, such as those raised by Rabbi Yisraeli, are substantially softened by the amendment to the law according to which the sentence will be served in Israel. This is joined by the issue of reciprocity, which is also recognized by Jewish law, as noted by Justice Alon and Justice Drori.
