TOP News Brief
Ben Gvir, Israel's national security minister, renewed an order prohibiting families from visiting Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli detention facilities, the Ma'an news agency reported. The directive applies across all prisons operating under Israeli authority.
The Prisoner's Club issued a warning in response to the renewed restrictions. The ban prevents detainees from maintaining direct contact with relatives during visits. Rights organizations have previously characterized such measures as forms of collective punishment that deny prisoners and their families basic contact rights.
