Israel's National Security Minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, mocked the prison conditions of Palestinian women in a video published on his Telegram channel. In the video, he shows a visit to a women's prison and states that, as long as he is in charge, "the summer camps in Israeli prisons are over."
In the video, Ben Gvir converses, through an interpreter, with a Palestinian prisoner who claims to be a member of Islamic Jihad. When asked about the detention conditions, the woman describes the situation as "very serious" and denounces the lack of privacy and basic services.
The prisoner states: "We don't even have the basics, such as a decent shower, there is no water in the rooms, there are many illnesses and we are not receiving treatment." She also reports that she and her fellow prisoners were unable to take a shower or change their underwear for three days.
Ben Gvir completes his speech in the video by saying: "I am in charge, and anyone who has harmed my brothers..." The sentence was left incomplete in the available excerpt.
