Martyr Fathi Khazem among 799 captives
The article addresses the issue of the detention of Palestinian martyrs' bodies by the Israeli occupation. The holding of around 1,700 bodies, including 799 with confirmed identities, is considered one of the forms of punishment and control that Israel has practiced for decades. This policy results in a state of "suspended mourning" for the families of the martyrs, denying them the right to bid farewell to their loved ones and to bury them properly. It is also used as a means of control and pressure even after death. Documents show that the practice of holding onto the bodies has increased since 2015, supported by various laws and directives that enable the occupation to do so, despite the Israeli Supreme Court's declaration in 2017 that there is no legal basis for this policy. Palestinian institutions call for the disclosure of the fate of all bodies and missing persons, the conduct of independent investigations to ensure respect for the dignity of the deceased, the halt of the detention policy, and the elevation of this issue to the international level to guarantee the right to truth and justice.
