#Palestine / Making Jewish terrorism kosher again: Defense Minister Katz ends administrative detention for Jewish settlers
Katz announced his decision to stop issuing administrative detention orders against Jewish settlers in the occupied West Bank, marking a significant policy shift. He justified the decision by citing the serious Palestinian terror threats facing Jewish settlements and what he called "unjustified international sanctions" against settlers. While existing detention orders won't be revoked, they won't be renewed upon expiration.
As expected, the decision has been praised by right-wing coalition members including Ben-Gvir and Smotrich, who called it an end to discrimination against settlers. Opposition figures and human rights organizations have strongly criticized the move, with MK Ahmad Tibi calling it "a kashrut certificate for Jewish terrorism" and the Tag Meir organization warning it could lead to increased violence against Palestinians.
Currently, five Israelis are under administrative detention, with 16 orders having been issued since the beginning of the year.
