Judge Menachem Mizrahi stated during a hearing on Jonathan Urich's detention extension that 'the decision to arrest him was made in an extremely short time frame, while his legal counsel was initially informed they wanted to release him. In this case, the investigating officer acted unlawfully, having no grounds to order his arrest. He has not committed any recent offense and there is no concern that he would not appear for investigation proceedings.' He continued his sharp criticism of the police: 'The officer had no authority to arrest Urich.'
