A draft law to grant Ben Gvir powers targeting the Palestinians of the interior

Zvika Fogel, a member of the Knesset for the "Jewish Power" party, led by the extremist Itamar Ben Gvir, presented a bill that would allow the latter, in his capacity as the so-called Minister of National Security, to issue administrative detention orders under the pretext of fighting crime among the Palestinians of the interior.


According to the website of the Hebrew newspaper Haaretz, the bill stipulates that this authority be granted to Ben Gvir, after requesting this from the legal advisor to the Israeli government in the event that he is convinced of the almost certain possibility of actual harm to public security in the event that the suspect is not under arrest.


The bill also grants additional powers such as restricting exit or residency in certain areas and restricting freedom of movement.


The bill also stipulates that Ben Gvir is able to prevent any suspect from traveling, oblige any detainee to surrender his passport to the police, that he will have the power to compel him to appear before the police station on dates that he will specify, and impose the obligation to inform of his intention to leave or enter a certain area In addition to giving him the power to prohibit the purchase, possession or carrying of certain things, the use of certain services and communications in a limited way, and the prohibition of contact with a specific person or group.
