A viewer on Channel 14's 'Patriots' program interrupted Defense Minister Israel Katz on Sunday night, shouting 'That's not true' as Katz discussed the cancellation of administrative detention orders, Israeli media reports.
The incident occurred on Sunday night during a live broadcast of 'Patriots' on Channel 14, a program known for its right-wing commentary. As Minister Katz was discussing the cancellation of administrative detention orders — a policy that has been a point of contention between him and the IDF Central Command — a female viewer interrupted him, shouting 'That's not true.' The exchange was brief, and the program continued. The Zioneer has reported on the broader dispute over administrative detention, which has pitted Katz against Central Command chief Maj. Gen. Avi Blot, whom Katz has accused of ignoring ministerial policy. The incident underscores the public and political sensitivity surrounding the use of administrative orders against Israeli civilians in Judea and Samaria.
