Ben-Gvir’s visit to Palestinian female prisoners’ cells draws criticism

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir visited cells holding Palestinian female prisoners, drawing criticism from Palestinian officials and commentators who said the footage exposed harsh detention conditions rather than justifying his policies. Lawyer Khaled Mahajneh of the Palestinian Authority's detainee commission said the video revealed degrading treatment, while Qatari journalist Jaber Al-Harmi accused Israeli authorities of abuse and criticized Arab governments for inaction. Ben-Gvir stated during the visit that "the days of summer camps in Israeli prisons are over."
