Channel 13 publishes report claiming that Ben-Gvir’s remarks on conditions of Palestinian prisoners led to worse treatment for Gaza captives; former minister fires back.
Channel 13 News blamed statements made by former National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir for the abuses that Hamas hostages endured in captivity, triggering the Otzma Yehudit lawmaker to fire back.
The outlet claimed in a report on Tuesday that a recently released hostage said that Hamas had “worsened” the captives’ conditions due to comments made by Ben-Gvir about crackdowns on Palestinian terrorists in Israel prison.
The report did not reference the specific remarks made by Ben-Gvir, nor did it reveal which hostage had allegedly made the claim.
