RAMALLAH: Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails have launched a protest campaign against punitive measures brought in by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. Widespread demonstrations have led to increased tensions in prisons, and a situation that Palestinian prisoner affairs officials on Thursday warned could boil over if not addressed. Protests erupted after the
Detainee support group the Palestinian Prisoners' Club said the sit-in was part of the "disobedience and rebellion" actions being taken against Israeli prison rules under the slogan "united in the face of the jailer".
