Israeli Defense Minister Katz Orders Release of Settlers from Administrative Detention in West Bank Amid Gaza Ceasefire Deal
Jan 17, 2025, 08:48 AM
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has announced the immediate release of Israeli settlers held under administrative detention in the West Bank. This decision comes in response to the anticipated release of Palestinian prisoners as part of a ceasefire agreement in Gaza. Katz stated that the move aims to send a clear message of support for the settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, which he described as being on the frontline against Palestinian terrorism and facing increasing security challenges. The minister emphasized that it is preferable for the families of Jewish settlers to be happy rather than those of released terrorists. This action follows Katz's earlier announcement in November to cease issuing administrative detention orders against settlers in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, a policy typically used against Palestinians.
