This is a violation of international law and absolutely unacceptable. I’m grateful Brad has been released but he never should have been detained in the first place. Others remain in custody - all for the crime of accompanying farmers during the olive harvest - and they must be released immediately.

I’ve been released from IDF custody with a “warning,” apparently because of my public profile (I told them I wasn’t even a congressmember yet, just a nominee). But several dozen rabbis & participants harvesting olives with me are still in detention.
