Defense Minister Israel Katz announced his decision to halt the use of administrative detention orders against Jews in the West Bank on Friday.
"In the current climate, where Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria face significant threats of Palestinian terrorism, supported by the Iranian axis of evil seeking to establish a terror front against Israel, and where international sanctions unfairly target settlers and settlement organizations, administrative detention is not the right approach," Katz reportedly said.
The decision was conveyed during a meeting with Shin Bet (ISA) Director Ronen Bar, where Katz instructed the security agency to implement alternative measures to address security concerns in the region.
