Katz declines to call settler rampage through Palestinian village 'terrorism'

Defense Minister Israel Katz declined to label the recent settler rampage in a Palestinian village as terrorism, stating that he does not define it as 'terror.' Three Palestinians were injured in the attack, which involved the torching of property and assault on residents. Katz called for the enforcement of the law against those responsible and expressed his opposition to violence. However, he defended his decision to end administrative detentions against extremist settlers while maintaining them for Palestinians. The defense minister's comments contrasted with those of Democrats party chair Yair Golan, who referred to the rampage as a 'pogrom' and accused the government of unleashing violence in the West Bank.
