Red Cross visits Israeli prisons sans detainee talks
The International Committee of the Red Cross announced the entry of its team into an Israeli military detention facility to conduct an assessment and a tour, as a preliminary step towards resuming visits to Palestinian detainees that have been halted since October 2023. Israeli authorities have not permitted the team to meet or communicate directly with the detainees, but discussions have been positive. The team is engaging with authorities regarding mechanisms to resume these visits. The Committee emphasizes the need for full access to the detainees and recalls that their conditions are deteriorating as violations within Israeli prisons continue, with over 9,400 Palestinians, including children and women, being held. The issue remains in need of international pressure to ensure the prisoners' rights, with the Committee reaffirming Israel's responsibility to treat them humanely.
