Israel's national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, has released a video in which he is seen threatening to kill Hassan Salameh, a senior Hamas figure who is imprisoned, according to a report from Al Jazeera.
The release of the video by a sitting government minister has drawn attention given his official role overseeing Israel's police force and prison system, raising questions about the treatment of prisoners under his ministry's authority.
Context
Ben-Gvir has previously taken hardline public positions regarding Palestinian prisoners and security policy since taking office. The specific circumstances and stated justification behind this latest video have not been independently verified beyond what has been reported.
The incident adds to ongoing scrutiny of statements made by Israeli officials regarding the treatment of Palestinian detainees amid the broader conflict between Israel and Hamas.
