Channel 12 reports that the Shin Bet has warned Israel’s political echelon that Defense Minister Israel Katz’s decision to end administrative detentions against Jewish Israelis risks harming efforts to combat violent settlers, who have been perpetrating near-daily attacks against Palestinians for months.
The network says Katz’s decision also will make it more difficult for Israel to urge European countries not to abide by international tribunals, given that it further establishes separate treatment for Jews and Arabs under Israel’s rule.
