Israel's Ben-Gvir posts prison video endorsing harsh conditions for Palestinian women detainees
Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir posted footage from a women's prison and said he was responsible for maintaining harsh detention conditions.
The footage shows Ben-Gvir confronting Palestinian women who complained about access to showers, medical care and clean clothing. He said he intended to continue a policy of providing minimal conditions.
Palestinian detainee organizations condemned the recording as intimidation and humiliation. Their broader allegations of abuse in Israeli detention facilities remain claims attributed to those organizations.
