Israeli legal group Honenu funds, defends occupiers accused of violence in West Bank: PLO
['Mehdi Editor']
Middle East Monitor
The statement was made in a weekly report by the PLO’s National Office for Land Defense, which monitors violations in the West Bank.
The report said the Israeli far-right legal organization Honenu provides legal support, litigation and free defense to occupiers and extremist Jews accused of committing violent crimes and terrorist acts against Palestinians in the West Bank.
It said the support is intended to thwart attempts to hold occupiers accountable, secure their swift release and ensure the continuation of their attacks in the West Bank.
The organization seeks to ensure the families’ financial stability during the settlers’ imprisonment, help them withstand interrogations without confessing to crimes and encourage others to carry out similar attacks, it added.
The report identified Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir as one of the prominent figures linked to the organization.
