Once again, Defense Minister Ehud Barak and the IDF have chosen to bypass the legal system and use the British Mandate administrative law to distance a Jewish man from his home.

This time, the recipient of the administrative order is Moan Farm resident Moti Shavo, 32, the father of six, who was a convicted member in the so-called Bat Ayin Jewish Underground. The administrative order was signed by IDF Central District Commander Major-General Gadi Shamni.

MK Uri Ariel in response to the report commented that the courts have ruled that administrative orders are not legal and should not be used yet the military continues to use them.
