The activists have since said they have been mistreated at the hands of Israeli soldiers, describing beatings, tasers and attack dogs. Israel has denied mistreatment, calling the allegations “false and entirely without factual basis.” With his statement, Barrot joined a growing chorus of European leaders who are calling for EU sanctions against Ben-Gvir. “Like my Italian colleague, I call on the European Union to also impose sanctions on Itamar Ben-Gvir,” Barrot said in the social media post. But Czech Foreign Minister Petr Macinka on Wednesday vowed to block sanctions on Israeli government ministers, which require unanimity among the EU’s 27 member states. Last year Ben-Gvir was sanctioned by the U.K., Canada, Australia, Norway and New Zealand over what those governments described as his repeated incitement of violence against Palestinians. Source link

Israel approved the establishment of a special military tribunal to try Palestinians accused of participating in the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack on Israel earlier this month, and will give the body the power to impose the death penalty. But analysts, campaigners, and international organisations – including the United Nations – have all questioned whether there will be any real justice delivered by the tribunal, and instead consider it a way of seeking revenge on imprisoned Palestinians. Recommended Stories list of 4 itemsend of list The impact of the October 7 attack, in which 1,139 were killed and 250 abducted, was amplified in Israel through endless repetition of videos of the attack. Al Jazeera’s own investigation unit has found that stories of atrocities committed on October 7 – some of the false – were used to justify the genocide launched on Gaza after the attack, which has so far killed more than 72,600 Palestinians. Some Israeli parliamentarians have made their positions clear on what they hope will be the result of the televised trials of an …

Israeli minister’s mistreatment of abducted activists sparks global condemnation. Flotillas carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza began in 2008, two years after Israel imposed a blockade on the Strip. Two boats succeeded, despite Israeli attempts to stop them. Since then, Israeli forces have forced several flotillas to turn back, and detained hundreds of activists, sometimes violently and in international waters. The latest attack is drawing global condemnation for the abuse of the activists, notably by a senior Israeli minister. Various countries have summoned their Israeli envoys in protest. But will they go further and take action against Israel’s dehumanising treatment of activists and Palestinians?

Walid Daqqa, the Palestinian prisoner who turned decades in Israeli jails into moments of thought, creativity and love. This is the story of Walid Daqqa, one of the longest-serving Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails, told by his immediate family and in voice recordings he made behind bars. From a sharp-minded boy in 1948 Palestine to a clandestine PFLP organiser sentenced to life imprisonment, Daqqa turns his cell into a classroom, a think tank and, eventually, a wedding venue when he marries Sanaa Salama inside Ashkelon prison. Through intimate testimonies from family, former prisoners and his lawyer, the film explores Walid’s idea of “parallel time” – living both under “tonnes of concrete” and beyond the walls. It recounts the smuggling of his sperm, the birth of his daughter, Milad, and his powerful message to her: hate oppression, not people. As cancer consumes him and Israel refuses his release, Milad’s final chant, “Freedom for our prisoners. For my father”, echoes a struggle that outlives Walid Daqqa’s life.
