Waded, a prisoners' advocacy organization, condemned Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir for entering the cell of Palestinian detainee Hassan Salameh and directly threatening him with death and execution, Shehab Wire reported. The group characterized the incident as a dangerous escalation in the treatment of Palestinian prisoners.
Ben Gvir's actions represent a marked shift in how Israeli authorities are handling detainees, the organization said, signaling heightened risks for those held in Israeli custody.
