Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli detention facilities are being kept in inhumane conditions under policies overseen by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, according to Al Jazeera English. The investigation examined conditions across multiple Israeli prisons holding Palestinian detainees, documenting the treatment protocols implemented under Ben-Gvir's authority.
The report indicates that conditions within these facilities fall below humanitarian standards. Ben-Gvir's role as National Security Minister has given him direct oversight of detention practices and prisoner treatment across the Israeli prison system holding Palestinians.
