Ben Gvir tends to use administrative detention to fight crime inside the occupied territories

The extremist Israeli minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, tends to use the policy of administrative detention, claiming that he is trying to fight crime inside the occupied territories.


According to the Hebrew website Ynet, Ben Gvir instructed the Israeli police chief, Kobi Shabtai, to consider the use of this tool in a measured, limited and decisive manner, in an attempt to prevent the continuation of crimes among Arabs and Jews. As the site mentioned.


According to the Hebrew website, Ben Gvir held a session last Thursday with Shabtai related to this case, and asked the latter to prepare intelligence materials in order to prepare for that, and to contact the prosecution to request their approval of these arrests as soon as possible.


The site indicated that Ben Gvir had previously opposed the policy of administrative detention against Jews, especially settlers in the West Bank, under the pretext that it was undemocratic.


An official in the Israeli police said that the Office of the Judicial Adviser to the government will be contacted in order to examine the legality of this step, while a legal source told the Hebrew-language website that Ben Gvir's proposal is not legally feasible, unless it works to change the current law in force.
