Israel's far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir boasted about deteriorating conditions for Palestinian prisoners following a visit to female inmates, according to Middle East Eye. Ben Gvir toured a facility holding Palestinian women detainees and made public statements celebrating the worsened treatment.
The minister's comments reflect deepening disputes over detainee welfare in Israeli custody. Palestinian rights groups have repeatedly documented poor conditions in facilities holding Palestinian detainees, including overcrowding, inadequate medical care, and restrictions on family visits. Ben Gvir's boasts signal the far-right government's hardline stance toward Palestinian prisoners held during the ongoing conflict.
