Zini considering reinstating administrative detention
The Shin Bet chief told Cabinet ministers that he may demand the reinstatement of administrative detention against Jewish extremists
Assessment
Israel's internal security chief is signaling a potential policy shift by threatening to use administrative detention against Jewish extremists. This tool, typically reserved for Palestinian suspects, allows imprisonment without trial or charges. The proposal puts the government in a difficult position: either authorize detention powers against fellow citizens or risk appearing soft on Jewish violence. Watch for whether the Cabinet approves this request and how right-wing coalition members respond.
