Israeli security authorities have begun preparing to allow International Committee of the Red Cross visits to Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails for the first time since October 7, according to Channel 12. The resumption marks a significant shift in access restrictions imposed following the October 7 attacks.
The visits are expected to commence next Wednesday. The Red Cross, which monitors detention conditions and maintains humanitarian contact between prisoners and their families, has been barred from accessing Palestinian detainees in Israeli facilities for over three months.
