Israel's Supreme Court ruled that the government is violating its order requiring the International Committee of the Red Cross to visit Palestinian prisoners, Middle East Eye reported. The court had previously issued an order mandating such visits, which the government has failed to implement.
The ruling represents a judicial challenge to state restrictions on humanitarian access to detainees held in Israeli custody. The specific details of the government's violations and any enforcement measures the court may impose were not immediately detailed.
