Occupiers target October 7 prisoners
Israeli occupation authorities are preparing to initiate trials for more than 250 Palestinian prisoners from Gaza, linked to the October 7, 2023 attacks. However, postponements are possible until early 2028 due to financial disputes and preparations for the opening of a special military court. The government approved a three-year budget of one billion shekels to implement the law, but the Minister of National Security is demanding an additional 900 million shekels to hire jailers, establish a prisoner protection unit during trials, and provide technological equipment and security procedures. The plan faces internal opposition over budget cuts, particularly from the Ministries of Education and Environment, which could impact services provided to prisoners and war victims. The Palestinian indictment accuses the occupation authorities of crimes including genocide and causing war, stating that the Chief of Staff of the Israeli army is responsible for preparing for the trials, which are expected to be held before tribunals comprising three judges. There are concerns they may face criminal prosecution outside Israel due to their participation.
