Settler Detained Until Trial for Violating Administrative Order

A Jerusalem Magistrate's Court has ordered the detention of Tal Yinon Dardik until the conclusion of legal proceedings against him. Dardik is accused of violating an administrative order issued by Major General Avi Blot, commander of the Central Command. Dardik refused to commit to adhering to the order's terms, declaring he would renew his struggle against administrative orders targeting settlers in Judea and Samaria.

Dardik stated that he would rather sit in jail than cooperate with the order, which he described as "delusional." He asserted that the fight is not just about his personal order but about Major General Blot's policy of issuing administrative orders against dozens of settlers in Judea and Samaria. He claimed that settlers are the only Israeli citizens subjected to such orders and called for an end to what he termed Blot's "persecution" of the settlement movement.

Dardik was arrested again for violating the administrative order. Within hours of his rearrest, the Judea and Samaria District Police filed an indictment against him for the violation. The indictment alleges that Dardik failed to report twice daily to sign at the Modi'in Illit police station, thereby breaching the conditions set by the order.

His legal representative, attorney Nati Rom from the Honenu organization, opposed the request for detention until the end of proceedings. During the hearing, Rom questioned the prosecution's stance, asking, "Since when is someone who doesn't sign at a police station arrested until the end of proceedings?"
