As part of the policy of supporting and promoting terrorism and extremism among the settlers, the Commissioner of the Israeli Prisons Service, Yaakov Yaakobi, visited the terrorist Amiram Ben-Uliel, the killer of the Dawabsheh family, in his cell twice in recent months, according to the newspaper “Haaretz”.
Yakobi, who was appointed to the position by the Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, was Ben-Gvir’s security secretary, and sought to ease the prison conditions of Ben-Uliel and other Jewish terrorists.
The security sources added that the head of Ben-Gvir’s office, Hanniel Dorfman, also visited Ben-Uliel.
The visit of the Prisons Service Commissioner to a security prisoner is considered unusual.
Among the facilities granted to Ben-Uliel is the permission for him to meet and talk with extremist rabbis from the religious Zionist movement, including Dov Lior, an extremist rabbi who is considered Ben-Gvir’s spiritual leader.
Ben-Gvir’s office and his party, Otzma Yehudit, began improving Ben-Uliel’s prison conditions following Ben-Gvir’s assumption of his ministerial position, while the rabbis of Religious Zionism demanded his release, claiming that he was “innocent.”
