International law expert Anis Qasem told Shehab Wire that Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli occupation prisons face genocide crimes, describing their treatment as part of a systematic policy targeting both people and land.
Qasem criticized what he characterized as Palestinian leadership silence on the issue, according to the agency. He framed the prisoners' conditions within a broader pattern of what he described as deliberate dehumanization.
