Ben-gvir Orders Sharp Reduction of Qurans in Israeli Prison

The office said Ben-Gvir visited the prison and issued the order, sharply reducing the number of Qurans available to inmates. The statement also said Israel continues food and hygiene restrictions on prisoners as a punishment. In a separate August 2 statement, the Prisoners and Released Prisoners Authority, affiliated with the Palestine Liberation Organization, said Palestinian detainees at Megiddo Prison in northern Israel face hunger and medical neglect, with living conditions worsening daily. Palestinian and Israeli human rights reports say about 9,500 Palestinians, including women and children, are held in Israeli prisons, enduring severe conditions such as starvation, torture, and medical neglect.
