Opposition leader Yair Golan said Tuesday that immediately after forming a government, his coalition would pass a resolution to reinstate administrative detention orders against Jewish terrorism. He also appointed Yaya Fink as head of the anti-Jewish-terrorism task force.
Opposition leader and Democrats chairman Yair Golan announced Tuesday evening his plan to reinstate administrative detention for Jewish terrorism if he becomes prime minister. He said the measure would be passed as a government resolution immediately after the formation of a coalition. Golan also named Yaya Fink as head of the task force against Jewish terrorism, a role known colloquially as 'anti-terror czar.' The statement marks Golan's most explicit policy pledge on Jewish extremist violence since taking over the party. The Zioneer noted last month in a topic profile that Golan, a former IDF deputy chief of staff, has made combatting Jewish terrorism a signature issue, though Tuesday's announcement is the first time he committed to specific administrative tools.
