The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates said that the decision of the Israeli occupation state to cancel the administrative detention of settlers encourages them to commit more crimes.

It added in a statement on Friday that it views with great concern the decision of the Minister of the Occupation Army to cancel administrative detention against settlers who commit crimes and violations against Palestinian citizens, noting that the number of those arrested is very small and based on the principle of formal arrests in a revolving door style.

The ministry considered that this decision encourages extremist settlers to practice terrorism against the Palestinians, their land and their property, and gives them an additional sense of immunity and protection.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates called for effective international action to curb the terrorism of the settlers' militias, put an end to their continued impunity, and protect our people from the encroachment of the occupation.
