Today at 11:30, settlers detained by the Shin Bet will be brought to a hearing at the Petah Tikva Magistrate's Court, after five days in detention. Their lawyers from the Honenu organization, Moshe Polsky and Nati Rom, will demand their immediate release, in light of the disclosure of the recordings of the head of the Shin Bet's Jewish department.

On Friday, before the start of Shabbat, an exceptional order that prevented the detainees from meeting with their lawyers was lifted, shortly before a hearing on an appeal filed by Honenu in the District Court. The detainees, all married and fathers of children, include combat soldiers who have served hundreds of days in the reserves since the start of the war.

Attorney Nati Rom said: "After the disclosure of the recording in which the head of the department admits to his hatred of the settlers and to illegal conduct, we are hearing a case that is full of hatred, false information, and zero evidence.  We hope that the courts will not be a rubber stamp for the department's lies."

Attorney Moshe Polsky added: "Honenu has been claiming for years that the Shin Bet is detaining suspects without justification, just because of a policy that violates human rights. Instead of fighting Arab terrorism, the Shin Bet is diverting resources against young Jews - shame and disgrace. We will demand their immediate release."

The chief of police of the Malachi Hashalom settlement and another reserve soldier were also arrested in the case. At the end of the week, the court rejected the Shin Bet's request to extend their detention by 4 days and released them under restrictive conditions, despite an exceptional order that prevented them from meeting with a lawyer.
