Ben Gvir threatens prisoner Hassan Salama
Israeli Interior Minister Itamar Ben Gvir issued a direct death threat against Palestinian prisoner Hassan Salama after raiding his cell, describing it as "a policy that has turned his life into hell" and aiming to execute him once he assumes the position of Defense Minister. Salama is among the most prominent leaders of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades; Israel arrested him in 1996 and sentenced him to life imprisonment. He has spent 30 years in captivity, including 13 years in solitary confinement. Israeli actions have been condemned as a political display, and Hamas stressed that demands for the prisoners' release will remain ongoing. Human rights organizations hold the occupation responsible for Salama's life and safety, as he displays signs of torture and medical neglect. Ben Gvir supports a law that allows for the execution of convicted Palestinian prisoners responsible for killing Israelis. This law was approved by the Knesset in 2023 and preparations are underway to implement it, amid widespread criticism and international protests against violations of Palestinian prisoners' rights in Israeli prisons.
