Defense Minister Israel Katz's decision to end the use of administrative detention against Israeli settlers who are suspected of carrying out violence in the West Bank was welcomed by right-wing politicians as the end of a draconian practice against 'law-abiding' citizens, while opposition lawmakers decried it as dangerous and 'approval for Jewish terror.' The measure sees individuals held without charge for up to six months at a time. Far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir called the move 'important and huge news,' while Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said Katz 'eliminated long-standing discrimination against settlers in Judea and Samaria and put an end to the injustice in which the settlers were second-class citizens.' Not all Israeli politicians supported the move, with opposition lawmaker MK Gadi Eisenkot calling it 'a grave and dangerous mistake.'
