Far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir meets with the parents of three settlers being held in administration detention, including two who were detained over a deadly rampage in Huwara last month after two Israeli brothers were killed in a terror shooting there.
Ben Gvir, who before entering the Knesset was an attorney representing defendants accused of nationalist crimes and terror, vows “to fix the injustice” done to them.
According to a statement from his office, Ben Gvir said he was in touch with “the relevant officials” and was trying to convince them to release the suspects.
“To me, it’s undemocratic to arrest a person and then throw him in jail without evidence or a trial,” he says, referring to the controversial practice of administrative detention.
