Former Minister Gidon Saar is opposed to the closure of the Holot detention facility. The government is expected to approve the proposal of Interior Minister Aryeh Deri and Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan to close the facility.
"Closing Holot would be a mistake which would represent a victory to infiltrators and those organizations supporting them. In the merit of Holot, thousands of infiltrators left Israel and the centers of towns. The right decision for the government to take would be to double the size of Holot. Whichever infiltrator will not be in Holot will be in Tel Aviv and in other towns," Saar wrote on Facebook.
