At a confidential session of the Supreme Court reviewing a petition against National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir’s move to block Red Cross representatives from visiting incarcerated Nukhba Force terrorists, the judges delivered sharp criticism of the government’s stance.
Supreme Court President Yitzchok Amit remarked during the proceedings: “At the moment, what’s being seen in the world is that Israel’s prisons are Guantanamo. This is what is being reported to the world: there is starvation, dozens of prisoners are dying; literally the Israeli Guantanamo, and you’re putting us, the court, in the forefront.”
Justice Dafna Barak-Erez voiced further concerns, saying: “The families of terrorists don’t know that they’re in prison, they are ‘prisoner X.’ Indeed, they did terrible things, but to not know that they are in Israel? Even in the most difficult times, there weren’t such things. Habeas corpus demands the release of information, and [Israel] always followed this. Suddenly, no information is being released.”
Later in the hearing, Justice Barak-Erez turned to the head of the Israel Prisons Service Intelligence Directorate and pressed him with a pointed question: “Is your organization so weak that it can’t deal with just one American Red Cross representative?”
In response, the Intelligence Directorate explained: “The terrorists in the prisons are talking about this hearing and are hoping that you allow the Red Cross to visit them.”

Why are these torturous killers allowed any rights other than their last rites. They should have their arms cut off and be force fed pig and shrimp. They continue to do worse to our captives/hostages. They don’t get Red Cross visits until the Red Cross visits every one of our holy brethren in their hands. For every hostage whose life was cut short, one of them should be forced to swallow poison. No respect PERIOD
הרוחם על האכזר סופו לאכזר על רחמנים
If they cannot visit the hostages, why allow them to vsit prisoners?
And cares who? Does anyone on their side fight for the hostages that we should fight for the perpetrators? Y don’t you get your heads screwed on straight
There are no worse Jew haters than Jews themselves
The Red Cross were denied access to GITMO and to Alligator Alcatraz too.
The unelected Supreme Court should stop meddling into everything.
