The Shamriz family demands that their son Alon be recognized as an IDF spaceman/Roni Knafo
The High Court today (Wednesday) discussed the petition filed by the family of the abductee Alon Shamriz who was accidentally killed by IDF soldiers in Gaza.
The family wants to recognize Alon as an IDF member, this is due to the reason that on the day he was kidnapped he was issued a conscription order, while the state opposes because the law does not allow him to be recognized as an IDF member.
The panel of judges hearing the petition is: Judge Alex Stein, Supreme Court President Uzi Fogelman and Judge David Mintz.
At the hearing, President Fogelman said that "this is an exceptional case", and that he is presenting "I am not proposing to ignore the law, but also within the framework of the law, at the time the Ministry of Defense knew from the side of the law to operate things before the line of the law."
Sometimes it was far in front of the rule of law that there were court comments that it was necessary to return to the rule of law.
We will ask for your consideration of the exceptional cases pointed out by the family's counsel. On normal days, I also understand the concept of wanting to wait, but again each case and its circumstances here really, the petition is not aimed at receiving economic rights and it is impossible to wait for the end of the fighting, it is appropriate to find a humane solution to this case, this A really difficult case, you can't close your eyes."
"Put my trust in the supreme judges."

At the beginning of the hearing, the representative of the attorney's office, attorney Roi Shoika, expressed his participation in the family's grief: "President Barak said during his time at the High Court of the Arad family that in an argument with the petitioners they have the upper hand, so in our story we do not have an argument with the petitioners. Our question actually advances the issue Legally, when Alon was abducted from Kfar Gaza, he was a citizen who was among the reserve servants but was not actually recruited. In fact, he was not a soldier at the time of his abduction."

Avi Shamriz, Alon's father, said outside the courtroom before the hearing began: "It's a sad day that I have to go to the Supreme Court to sue the state and the army to recognize my son as an IDF soldier, something that was so natural for him to do on his own initiative.
this is not happening.
"I put my trust in the supreme judges to do justice to Alon, and give him the recognition he deserves," said the father, who did not agree to cover his son's grave until it was recognized as an IDF space. entitled to it.
We hear denials from the army, some of which are false and others that do not reflect reality," he accused, and said: "We are shocked and enraged by the answer they gave to the High Court on our petition. They are not accurate to say the least. Their mistake, and the army will come to its senses and make it so that our Alon will be recognized as an Israeli army."
"This petition was submitted with great pain after the response the family received from the army and the state," said attorney Ran Cohen Rochbarger on behalf of the family. "The family is not asking for financial relief - the parents are recognized as bereaved parents anyway.
This petition has a symbolic and value dimension, and it is to allow a military burial for the oak tree.
Since Shalon arrived at the Israel Burial Ground, he has been in a temporary grave." He added: "The purpose of the petition is to allow some relief for the parents, to give them recognition from the army and the state."
