Eyal Benvenisti**

** Lecture, The Hebrew University, Faculty of Law, LL.B. ( The Hebrew University); LL.M., J.S.D. ( Yale Law School)

‘'Judges, however, as state functionaries, cannot neglect considaations of state intertsts and these may, on occasions, demand that doctrinal niceties be given short shrift in order to meet particular governmental emrgencies.’2
