A report by Israeli rights group B'Tselem has revealed a systematic policy of abuse and torture against Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons since the onset of the Israel-Hamas war. The report, based on interviews with 55 Palestinians, describes severe violations including arbitrary violence, sexual abuse, and deprivation of basic needs. B'Tselem claims that these actions are part of a government-sanctioned policy under the orders of National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, with at least 60 Palestinians reported to have died in custody since October 7. In contrast, the Israel Prison Service and military firmly deny these allegations, asserting that all detainees are treated lawfully and that complaints are investigated. The report raises significant international concerns regarding Israel's adherence to both domestic and international law regarding prisoner treatment. Critics have questioned the reliability of B'Tselem's data collection methods while highlighting the stark contrast between the testimonies of former detainees and official statements.
