Overview of the manner in which Israeli intelligence and security services have been held accountable for infringements of civil liberties since the landmark ruling in the Tubianski case in 1948, with particular focus on the impact of the General Security Service Law of 2002 on GSS activities. "The GSS Law was the first statute in Israel's law books dealing directly with intelligence. Its parliamentary approval marked almost a revolution in the approach towards intelligence in Israel. Intelligence services were no longer a 'sacred cow' hiding behind the walls of official secrecy, but were now treated just like any other governmental body, regulated by law and provided with specific legal instruments applicable to the unique requirements of intelligence work" (pp. 635-36).
