Red Cross urged to voice position against Israeli ban on prisoner visits

In a statement on Friday, head of the Commission Ra’ed Abul-Homs said that Ben Gvir’s decision reflects persistence in isolating Palestinian prisoners from the outside world by denying them visits from families and rights and humanitarian groups, describing the move as “disregard for international and UN institutions.”

Abul-Homs urged the Red Cross and humanitarian bodies to publicly denounce Zionist regime’s ongoing abuses against Palestinian prisoners, expose its obstruction of international monitors, and issue a formal report documenting the full magnitude of violations in jails.
