Defense Minister and Chairman of Yamina Minister Naftali Bennett addressed the attack on him by the Shin Bet.
"I really appreciate the work of the Shin Bet. They guard us against Arab terror. They are not enemies. They are brothers."
However, Bennett made it clear "I'm not anyone's rubber stamp." Bennett noted that the court decided to release the young man and that lit a "red light" for him.
"I did not immediately release. For a long day, I checked and investigated. I came to the conclusion that this is not a ticking bomb. It is a person who is suspected of serious acts but I expect that they will not use administrative detention but will submit an indictment. I don't accept any form of violence, not by Jews and not by Arabs."
