Billion Shekels for October 7 Prisoners Trial
The Haaretz newspaper reported that the Israeli occupation authorities are preparing to hold trials for more than 250 Palestinian prisoners from Gaza, who have been detained since the October 7 attack. These trials are expected to begin in the first quarter of 2028. A special law was enacted in 2023 to prosecute them, and a three-year budget of one billion shekels has been allocated. However, preparations are still underway, with disagreements over increasing the budget. National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir is demanding an additional 900 million shekels to fund the employment of 340 extra prisoners and to establish a special unit responsible for guarding the detainees during the trials. Conversely, the targeted ministries oppose this reduction, warning it could impact services for those affected by the war. The charges against the prisoners include genocide and crimes against the state's sovereignty. The trials are to be conducted before judicial panels of three judges, though concerns have been raised about the possibility of the judges facing prosecution or travel restrictions due to their participation.
