Itamar Ben-gvir Ordered the Confiscation of Clothing and Copies of the Quran From Palestinian Prisoners, Following a Visit to Negev Prison

The Palestinian Prisoners Media Office said the number of Qurans accessible to inmates dropped significantly after the directive, and accused Israel of continuing food and hygiene restrictions as punishment. Separately, the Prisoners and Released Prisoners Affairs Committee, affiliated with the Palestine Liberation Organization, reported that Palestinian detainees at Megiddo Prison in northern Israel face hunger and medical neglect, with worsening living conditions. According to Palestinian and Israeli human rights reports, about 9,500 Palestinians, including women and children, are held in Israeli prisons, enduring severe conditions such as starvation, torture, and medical neglect.
