Ben-Gvir says he is proud of poor prison conditions for Palestinian prisoners

Israel's ultraconservative security minister said he is proud of the deteriorating conditions for Palestinian prisoners in a video posted on social media on Sunday.

In the video, with the prisoners' faces blurred, Ben-Gvir is seen visiting Palestinian female prisoners. A veiled woman says the prisoners are living in “extremely poor” conditions.

"We haven't washed ourselves in three days and haven't changed our underwear," the woman says.

The minister responds that the hostages taken by the terrorist organization Hamas during the attacks on October 7, 2023, lived under similar conditions.

"Our hostage had no shampoo," Ben-Gvir says.

I am proud that we have managed to reduce the prison conditions of terrorists to an absolute minimum.
