MK Tzvi Sukkot (Religious Zionism) on Tuesday visited Uriya Cohen, owner of the Tzf Hat farm in Samaria who has been detained for nearly a month, at a detention facility. Sukkot said he did not believe such "persecution" by Israeli police would continue after a full prison term, calling every additional minute Cohen spends in detention a disgrace.
MK Tzvi Sukkot (Religious Zionism) visited Uriya Cohen at a detention facility on Tuesday morning, expressing outrage over Cohen's continued detention. Cohen, the owner of the Tzf Hat farm in Samaria, has been in custody for nearly a month. The case has drawn ongoing political attention. As The Zioneer reported on Friday (June 26), MK Amit Halevi (Likud) similarly criticized police and court handling of the case after visiting Cohen, alleging fabricated accusations. A day earlier, the Jerusalem District Court ordered Cohen held until indictment, overturning a lower court decision for house arrest. Sukkot's statement echoes those criticisms, calling Cohen's continued detention "persecution" by police and a disgrace.
