Overview

• Itamar Ben-Gvir posted a 13-second video of his prison visit in which he told Marwan Barghouti “you will not win” and vowed to eliminate anyone who harms Israelis.
• The national security minister’s office confirmed the footage’s authenticity and said the visit was part of an inspection to enforce stricter conditions for Palestinian detainees.
• Barghouti, who has been serving five life sentences since 2004, appears gaunt and frail after nearly two years held in solitary confinement.
• The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the footage as organized state terrorism and vowed to seek an international investigation into Barghouti’s treatment.
• Israel maintains its detention conditions meet legal requirements; Barghouti’s wife has warned that his weakened state captured in the video poses a grave risk to his health.
