Israeli Occupation Issues 6-Month Administrative Detention Order Against FAZ3A Coordinator in the Jordan Valley, Ayman Ghraieb

For Immediate Release – 2 December 2025

The FAZ3A Campaign strongly condemns the Israeli occupation’s decision today to issue a six-month administrative detention order against Palestinian activist Ayman Ghraieb, the campaign’s field coordinator in the Jordan Valley, who was abducted on 17 November 2025 from the village of al-Fasayil at the request of illegal settlers present at the scene.

From the moment of his abduction, Ayman was held for hours before being transferred to an unknown location. Until today, despite repeated requests by his lawyers and the International Committee of the Red Cross, Israeli authorities have refused to disclose his whereabouts or allow access to him. Human rights sources indicate that Ayman is being held by the Shin Bet, in blatant violation of international law and due process.

Ayman Ghraieb is a dedicated human rights defender and a central figure in the FAZ3A Campaign, working tirelessly to support Palestinian farmers and communities under threat, while documenting escalating settler and military violence across the Jordan Valley. The administrative detention order against him is part of a systematic policy aimed at silencing activists, obstructing documentation efforts, and suppressing grassroots resilience and resistance.

According to B’Tselem, as of June 2025, 3,563 Palestinians are held under administrative detention — imprisonment without charge or trial, subject to indefinite renewals. This detention regime is used as a political tool to target activists and strip them of basic legal protections.

We Demand:
1. The immediate and unconditional release of Ayman Ghraieb.
2. Urgent international intervention by UN bodies, the European Union, and global human rights organizations.
3. Full responsibility placed on Israel for Ayman’s physical and psychological safety, particularly given his enforced disappearance.
4. An international investigation into his abduction, the involvement of settlers, and the conditions of his detention.

Targeting human rights defenders and community organizers will not stop us from standing with Palestinian farmers, protecting vulnerable communities, and documenting ongoing violations across the Jordan Valley and the West Bank.

On 17th November 2025, in al-Fasayil (Jordan Valley, West Bank), Palestinian peace activist Ayman Ghraieb was abducted by the Isr*eli military at the request of illegal Israeli settlers present at the scene. He was detained for several hours and then taken to an undisclosed location.

A source within Isreli security claims that Ayman is currently being held by the Shin Bet, the Isreli internal security service (equivalent to the American FBI). The Red Cross and Ayman’s lawyers have been unable to reach him despite repeated requests for information and access submitted to the Isr*eli police and military authorities. His whereabouts remain unknown.

Ayman is an active member of the FAZ3A Campaign, a grassroots initiative supporting Palestinian farmers and communities under threat. He is also a dedicated human rights defender who documents violations committed by the occupation forces and settlers across the West Bank. His work has been vital in exposing attacks, supporting vulnerable communities, and bringing international attention to ongoing abuses.

According to B’Tselem, as of June 2025, 3,563 Palestinians are held in administrative detention — imprisonment without charge or trial, subject to indefinite renewals. In this context, securing Ayman’s release is urgent and essential. Human rights defenders like Ayman face a heightened risk of being absorbed into a detention regime where legal safeguards are minimal and detention orders can continue for months or even years.

Preventing Ayman from being drawn into this system is critical — not only for his personal safety and well-being, but also for protecting the ability of Palestinian activists to continue documenting violations, supporting threatened communities, and defending human rights under increasingly dangerous conditions.

Urgent diplomatic and international intervention is needed now to demand Ayman’s immediate release.

Lama highlighted the role of the Fazaa Campaign this year in supporting Palestinian farmers and protecting their lands amid escalating settler violence.

Francesca Albanese praised the campaign’s efforts, emphasizing its vital role in strengthening community resilience and documenting ongoing violations.
