Ben Gvir blasts administrative detention of 2 suspects in Huwara riots
The decision to send two of the suspects in the Huwara riots to administrative detention is condemned by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who bristles at the fact that “detention orders are issued for Jews while terrorism is ‘contained.'”
“I will contact [Defense Minister] Gallant and the prime minister this evening and demand clarification on this anti-democratic decision,” Ben Gvir says in a statement.
