THE detention of a young Anglican from the West Bank is an example of the “deeply discriminatory” use of administrative detention by the Israeli authorities, the Archbishop of Canterbury has said. “I ask the Israeli Government to look again at her case, and that she be released. The widespread and routine manner in which Israel uses administrative detention of Palestinians as an instrument of Occupation is deeply discriminatory. “There is never any justification for killing children — whether in Palestine, Israel, or Lebanon,” he wrote on social media. On Thursday of last week, Israeli media reported that the bodies of five more hostages, four men and a woman, had been recovered by the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) in Khan Yunis.
