Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir criticized Defense Minister Yoav Galant's decision to issue administrative arrest warrants to two of those arrested on suspicion of participating in a riot in Huwara after they were released by a court.

"Precisely in the days when the heroic settlers in Judea and Samaria are suffering from murderous terrorism, the Minister of Defense chooses to issue two administrative arrest warrants against two Jews, one of whom is a minor, while he chooses an "inclusive" policy against the terrorist elements, and this is to be regretted."

"Even though the court ordered the release of the two Jewish detainees, the people issuing the order chose to bypass the court in an unusual and serious procedure and act contrary to a democratic worldview. I will contact Galant and the Prime Minister later this evening and demand clarifications on this anti-democratic decision," said Ben Gabir.
