Ben Gvir Mocks Palestinian Detainee Over Prison Conditions Naftali Bennett's comments on prison conditions have sparked international outrage, highlighting ongoing struggles faced by Palestinians detained in Israel.
The Israeli prison system has a long history, dating back to the British Mandate period when it was established in 1948 to hold Palestinian prisoners fighting for self determination.
Today, the prison population is comprised of both Palestinian and Israeli citizens, with many Palestinians detained on charges related to security offenses.
