​Takeaways From the Times Investigation Into ‘The Unpunished’

Radical forces in Israeli society have moved from the fringes to the mainstream and put Israel’s democracy in peril. Here are the takeaways from our investigation.

• Share full article

By Ronen Bergman and Mark Mazzetti

Ronen Bergman, a reporter in Israel, and Mark Mazzetti, based in Washington, interviewed more than 100 people, including current and former Israeli government officials, for this investigation.

For decades, most Israelis have considered Palestinian terrorism the country’s biggest security concern. But there is another threat that may be even more destabilizing for Israel’s future as a democracy: Jewish terrorism and violence, and the failure to enforce the law against it.

Our yearslong investigation reveals how violent factions within the Israeli settler movement, protected and sometimes abetted by the government, have come to pose a grave threat to Palestinians in the occupied territories and to the State of Israel itself. Piecing together new documents, videos and over 100 interviews, we found a government shaken by an internal war — burying reports it commissioned, neutering investigations it assigned and silencing whistle-blowers, some of them senior officials.

It is a blunt account , told in some cases for the first time by Israeli officials, of how the occupation came to threaten the integrity of the country’s democracy.

Settlers Pursuing a Theocratic State Have Become Lawmakers

Officials told us that once fringe, sometimes criminal groups of settlers bent on pursuing a theocratic state have been allowed for decades to operate with few restraints. Since Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition government came to power in 2022, elements of that faction have taken power — driving the country’s policies, including in the war in Gaza.

The lawbreakers have become the law.

Bezalel Smotrich, the finance minister and the official in Netanyahu’s government with oversight over the West Bank, was arrested in 2005 by the Shin Bet domestic security service for plotting road blockages to halt the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. He was released with no charges. Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel’s national security minister, had been convicted multiple times for supporting terrorist organizations and, in front of television cameras in 1995, vaguely threatened the life of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, who was murdered weeks later by an Israeli student.

Settler Violence Has Been Protected and Abetted for Decades

All West Bank settlers are in theory subject to the same military law that applies to Palestinian residents. But in practice, they are treated according to the civil law of the State of Israel, which formally applies only to territory within the state’s borders. This means that Shin Bet might probe two similar acts of terrorism in the West Bank — one committed by Jewish settlers and one committed by Palestinians — and use wholly different investigative tools.

The job of investigating Jewish terrorism falls to a division of Shin Bet known commonly as the Jewish Department. But it is dwarfed both in size and prestige by the Arab Department, the division charged mostly with combating Palestinian terrorism.

Jews involved in terror attacks against Arabs over the past decades have received substantial leniency, which has included reductions in prison time, anemic investigations and pardons. Most incidents of settler violence — torching vehicles, cutting down olive groves — fall under the jurisdiction of the police, who tend to ignore them. When the Jewish Department investigates more serious terrorist threats, it is often stymied from the outset, and even its successes have sometimes been undermined by judges and politicians sympathetic to the settler cause.

The two-tier situation has only become worse during the past year. We scrutinized a sample of three dozen cases from the West Bank since Oct. 7 that shows how much the legal system has decayed. In cases ranging from stealing livestock to arson to violent assault, not a single suspect was charged with a crime; in one case, a settler shot a Palestinian in the stomach while an Israel Defense Forces soldier looked on, yet the police questioned the shooter for only 20 minutes and never as a criminal suspect.

Ami Ayalon, the head of Shin Bet in the late 1990s, told us that government leaders “signal to the Shin Bet that if a Jew is killed, that’s terrible. If an Arab is killed, that’s not good, but it’s not the end of the world.”

But Jews have also been targets of ultranationalists. Prime Minister Rabin was murdered after rabbis passed what amounted to a death sentence on him for his support of the Oslo peace process.

Critics Have Been Silenced and Investigations Buried

In 1981, after a group of professors in Jerusalem raised concern about possible collusion between the settlers and the authorities and illegal “private policing activity” against Palestinians in the occupied territories, Judith Karp, then Israel’s deputy attorney general for special duties, was asked to lead a committee to look into the issue. Their report found case after case of trespassing, extortion, assault and murder, even as the military authorities and the police did nothing or performed notional investigations that went nowhere.

The minister of the interior at the time responded to their report with a scolding. “I understood that he wanted us to drop it,” Karp told us.

Another report two decades later met a similar fate. Talia Sasson, who was tapped to draw up a legal opinion on the “unauthorized outposts,” found that in a span of just over three years, the Construction and Housing Ministry had issued dozens of illegal contracts in the West Bank. In some cases, the ministry even paid for their construction.

Sasson and her Justice Ministry colleagues called the separate laws under which they saw the West Bank being administered “utterly insane.”

The report had little impact, powerless against the machine in place to expand settlements.

Security Officials Are Speaking Out in Alarm

In the West Bank, a new generation of ultranationalists has taken an even more radical turn against the very notion of a democratic Israeli state. Their objective is to tear down Israel’s institutions and to establish “Jewish rule”: anointing a king, building a temple in place of the Jerusalem mosques sacred to Muslims worldwide, imposing a religious regime on all Jews.

It was always clear, Lior Akerman, a former Shin Bet official, told us, “that those wild groups would move from bullying Arabs to damaging property and trees and eventually would murder people.”

This past October, according to a classified document we saw, Maj. Gen. Yehuda Fox, the head of Israel’s Central Command responsible for the West Bank, wrote a letter to his boss, the chief of Israel’s military staff, saying that the surge of Jewish terrorism and violence carried out in revenge for the Oct. 7 attacks “could set the West Bank on fire.”

Another document describes a meeting in March, when Fox wrote that since Smotrich took office, the effort to clamp down on illegal settlement construction has dwindled “to the point where it has disappeared.”

Gaza has refocused the world’s attention on Israel’s long inability to address the question of Palestinian autonomy. But it is in the West Bank, in the hands of emboldened settlers, some of whom are now in power, that the corrosive effects of the occupation on both Palestinians and Israel’s rule of law are most apparent.

Our Coverage of the Israel-Hamas War

News and Analysis

The International Criminal Court prosecutor’s request for an arrest warrant  against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel alongside the leaders of Hamas seems to have shored up his domestic support .

President Biden condemned  the I.C.C. prosecutor’s warrant request, saying there is “no equivalence between Israel and Hamas” and that Israel’s military assault in Gaza “is not genocide.”

Palestinians in Gaza expressed mixed feelings  after the I.C.C. prosecutor said he was seeking arrest warrants for leaders of both Israel and Hamas, a move that many said equated victim with perpetrator.

Amal Clooney Weighs In: The prominent human rights lawyer was on a panel that recommended arrest warrants  for leaders of Israel and Hamas. She had been criticized earlier for not speaking out on the war.

Demanding New Leadership: Some reservists in the Israel Defense Forces, who have returned home from war, have joined the growing calls within Israel  for Netanyahu and his right-wing coalition to step aside.

Gaza’s Wartime Economy: In the seven months since Israel started bombarding Gaza, the enclave’s economy has been crushed. In its place, a marketplace of survival has arisen focused on the basics .

Israel recovers the bodies of three hostages taken at Oct. 7 music festival

WASHINGTON ― Bodies of three Israeli hostages kidnapped and killed by Hamas militants were recovered in the Gaza Strip, the Israel Defense Forces said Friday.

The three deceased hostages − Shani Louk, 23, Amit Buskila, 28, and Yitzhak Gelernter, 57 − were among those attacked by Hamas while attending the Nova Music Festival on Oct. 7.

Israeli officials said Hamas militants took the three bodies to Gaza after killing them at the festival. The bodies were recovered Friday during a joint operation by the IDF and Shin Bet, Israel's intelligence arm, based on information gathered from Hamas militants arrested in Gaza, according to the IDF.

"They were celebrating life at the Nova Music Festival, and they were murdered by Hamas," IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari said.

After their bodies were retrieved by IDF troops, they were transferred to medical professionals for a forensics examination and identification, Hagari said. Families were then notified.

"Heartbroken for this great loss. My wife Sara and I grieve with the families," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement. He praised the military operation and reiterated a pledge to return all remaining hostages .

"We will bring back all our hostages, whether they are alive or dead," Netanyahu said.

Following their return, an estimated 129 hostages remain in captivity in Gaza, based on figures from the Israel's Government Press Office. At least 37 of them are presumed dead, Israel officials have said. The Biden administration has said five Americans are among the remaining hostages.

"Just horrible news. Our hearts go out to the families who are having to deal with this terrible news," said John Kirby, a White House spokesman. Kirby said the U.S. does not have any new information on the status of the five American hostages.

The Biden administration has for weeks been working to secure a temporary cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas that includes the release of hostages. "It's difficult to see how this grim news today is going to have a major effect on the hostage-deal negotiations," Kirby said.

The death of Shani Louk, a German-Israeli who worked as a tattoo artist, produced one of the most haunting images of the Oct. 7 attack. The Associated Press published a photo of Hamas militants with guns carrying Louk's half-naked corpse in the the back of a pickup truck.

Nissim Louk, father of Shani Louk, told the Haaretz newspaper in Israel that the return of his daughter’s body helps bring closure. He said his daughter "radiated light, to her and those who surrounded her, and in her death she still does."

"She is a symbol of the people of Israel, between light and darkness. Her inner and outer beauty that shone for all the world to see is a special one,” Nissim Louk said.

The Hostages Families Forum Headquarters, a coalition of hostage families advocating for their release also known as Bring Them Home Now, issued a statement saying they "bow their heads in deep sorrow and with broken hearts."

"The return of their bodies is a painful and stark reminder that we must swiftly bring back all our brothers and sisters from their cruel captivity − the living to rehabilitation, and the murdered to a proper burial," the group said.
