From restricting visitations to demanding the death penalty, the national security minister has begun rolling out his harsher vision for Israeli prisons.
Israel had reportedly lobbied members of the forum to forgo the session, but is now focusing its diplomatic efforts on preventing any form of censure of the Jewish state.
Israel's new National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir made a controversial visit Tuesday to Jerusalem's Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism and the third holiest site in Islam. He was widely criticized by Palestinians, Hamas, U.N. officials and the Biden administration for violating the "status quo" on who can visit the site. The Netnayahu government claims it's not a violation of the status quo, and it has some strong support for that contention on Capitol Hill.
