Ben Gvir assigns kin of Israeli victims as prison monitors
Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has decided to appoint relatives of Israeli murder victims as prison monitors in order to tighten the conditions for Palestinian prisoners' detention, despite international criticism. He has reduced the number of monitors from 100 to less than 20, amid concerns over worsening conditions inside the prisons and the impact this may have on international relations. Since taking office, the prisons have seen an escalation in repressive measures, with the deaths of more than 100 Palestinian prisoners since October 2023. Approximately 9,500 prisoners are living under harsh conditions that include torture and medical neglect.
