Consensus on Phone Surveillance Procedures by Intelligence Agency
March 20, 2026
After numerous efforts, there seems to be consensus on how the intelligence agency will conduct phone surveillance, bypassing the Court. In a recent meeting of the Legal Committee of the Parliament, proposals were discussed that include notifying a three-member Committee within 72 hours when surveillance is needed. Legislation will be amended to ensure the Committee consists of former judges. The bills are expected to be reviewed for final corrections. However, it remains uncertain whether the new formula will be approved by the Parliament.
