Israel ends administrative detention for settlers in occupied West Bank

According to the Israeli Channel 12, the Shin Bet has warned Israel's political leadership that Defence Minister Israel Katz's decision to end administrative detentions for Israeli settlers could undermine efforts to address ongoing violence perpetrated by them.

Extremist settlers have been launching near-daily attacks against Palestinians for months.

The decision is also seen as complicating Israel's ability to pressure European nations to ignore international tribunals, as it further reinforces the perception of unequal treatment between Israelis and Arabs under Israeli governance.
