Defense minister reportedly walks back decision to end administrative detention of settlers
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDefense Minister Israel Katz has walked back his decision to stop signing off on the administrative detention of Israeli settlers in the West Bank, i24News reports.
Katz came under fire for the move announced last month, given that it kept the policy in place against Arab Israelis and thousands of Palestinians in the West Bank.
i24News reports that during a recent meeting, Katz clarified that there would be no discrimination between Jews and Arabs in his administration of the policy and that he would adjudicate requests strictly based on security considerations.
