Lawyer Defends Hamas Nukhba Suspects and Says He Has No Moral Objection

Attorney Yigal Dotan represents a large number of terrorists, convicted militants, and defendants accused of serious security offenses, including Nukhba force members linked to Hamas. The article says that in a period when most lawyers are unwilling even to consider such cases, Dotan continues to take them on and frames it as a higher duty in a state governed by law.

Dotan says he is willing to bear the label “enemy of the people” if necessary. In his view, legal defense is not a problem of conscience but an ethical obligation. He is quoted as saying, “I have no moral barrier to representing any person. On the contrary, it is my moral duty.”

The piece presents him as a lawyer who openly rejects any apology for his work and who insists on the principle that every defendant deserves representation, even those tied to severe terror and security crimes. The story does not describe a specific court case or ruling, but focuses on Dotan’s position and the controversy surrounding his clients.
