The Biden administration has expressed deep concern to Israel over its decision to halt administrative detention for Jewish settlers suspected of violence against Palestinians, warning it could escalate tensions.
U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin highlighted the potential for increased violence due to Israel's decision, underscoring that administrative detention has been a critical tool against both Palestinian and Jewish extremism.
Israeli Minister of Defense Katz's reasoning to end administrative detentions centered on perceived Palestinian terror threats and international sanctions against settlers, reflecting a growing discord over security policy.
U.S. officials fear that stopping administrative detention orders for settlers represents a dangerous shift in Israeli policy that could further strain U.S.-Israel relations.
