Israel’s Invisible Genocide: Pressure on Palestinian Prisoners Deepens

Recent statements by Abdullah ez-Zegari, President of the Palestinian Prisoners Club, reveal a new and darker dimension to Israel’s treatment of Palestinian prisoners. Zegari describes the practices in Israeli prisons as an ‘invisible genocide’ and calls on the international community and human rights organizations to take action. According to the Commission for Relations with Former Prisoners and the Prisoners’ Club, 44 more Palestinians have been detained in the West Bank in recent Israeli army operations. These developments are seen as a sign of further escalation of tensions in the region.

Zegari said that the testimonies of released prisoners confirm that serious violations are taking place in Israeli prisons. According to Zegari, the testimonies of recently released prisoners and their families reveal that detainees are subjected to pressure, harassment, beatings and armed attacks. These testimonies show that Israel is carrying out executions and assassinations in the occupied territories, evading its legal responsibilities.

In the latest joint statement, it was noted that the number of Palestinians detained by the Israeli army in the West Bank has reached 6,460 since October 7. These detentions are concentrated in cities such as Jericho, Jenin, Nablus, Tubas and Hebron.

This news highlights that human rights violations in Israeli prisons and the oppression of Palestinian prisoners is an issue that must be taken seriously by the international community and human rights organizations. The Palestinian Prisoners’ Club’s statement is a call for a just solution and not to remain silent on this issue. These events are not just a regional problem, but have become a global human rights issue. Israel’s treatment of Palestinian prisoners and its consequences contradict fundamental principles of international law and present a serious humanitarian situation that must be addressed immediately.
