Far-right Israeli occupation National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir reportedly appeared in footage mockingly displaying a table of food and sweets that are barred from Palestinian hostages in Israeli jails.
In the circulating video, Ben-Gvir is seen standing behind a table filled with various food items, presenting them as products that Palestinian detainees are now denied. He is heard boasting about imposing harsh restrictions and deprivation policies as part of his policy towards hostages.
The footage was widely shared on social media platforms, sparking condemnation from Palestinian and human rights activists who described the display as a deliberate humiliation and collective torture against thousands of detainees.
Independent verification of the date and location of the filming remains unavailable in the sources reviewed. There has been no official detailed statement from the Israeli occupation Prison Service listing the specific items that have been banned under the new restrictions.
The incident comes amid escalating reports by human rights organizations about worsening conditions inside Israeli prisons, including severe food shortages, medical negligence, and denial of basic rights for Palestinian hostages since the beginning of the genocide on Gaza.
