Israel's far-right Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, boasted about the treatment of Palestinian prisoners and called for the death penalty to be passed by the parliament. Sharing a video recorded at Ketziot Prison, Ben-Gvir stated, "There is no jam, chocolate, television, or radio. We took everything from them; the only thing left is the death penalty law."
Israel's far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir reiterated his call for the passage of a bill in the Knesset that envisions the execution of Palestinian prisoners, boasting about the torture they inflict on Palestinian detainees, whom they deprive of even the most basic rights.
Ben-Gvir shared a video on social media recorded in front of a small cell where Palestinian prisoners are held at Ketziot Prison in southern Israel. Standing in front of the small cell where three Palestinian prisoners are made to wait on their knees on the ground, Ben-Gvir said, "Palestinian prisoners are made to sit on the ground as they deserve."
"WE TOOK EVERYTHING FROM THEM"
Speaking in a mocking tone against Palestinian prisoners, Ben-Gvir stated, "They have been deprived of almost everything; there is no jam, no chocolate, no television or radio. We took everything from them; the only thing left is the death penalty law."
ATTACKS AND THREATS FROM FAR-RIGHT MINISTER BEN-GVIR
Israeli far-right Minister Ben-Gvir, who is constantly in the news for his attacks on the Palestinian people and their sanctities, had also shared a speech he made in front of a poster showing the destruction in Gaza during a visit to a prison in Israel a few days ago on his Instagram account.
The day after that post, on October 21, Ben-Gvir expressed in a statement on his Telegram account, referring to Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons, that they hope for the swift enactment of the "death penalty for terrorists" law. He stated, "Until then, they will continue to remain in prison under the conditions they deserve," and claimed that he would keep the detention conditions at the legally possible minimum level and would continue to strengthen deterrence by tightening these conditions further.
In previous statements, Ben-Gvir had threatened that if the bill for the "death penalty for terrorist crimes" is not brought to the Knesset General Assembly for a vote within three weeks, he would not support the government.
