A profile published by Anadolu Agency examines Hassan Salameh, a Palestinian prisoner the agency reports has been threatened with execution by an Israeli minister.
According to Anadolu Agency, Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir told Salameh inside his prison cell, "I want to kill you. I want to execute you." The report frames this as part of a visit by the minister to the facility where Salameh is held.
The available material does not provide further detail on Salameh's background, the charges or sentence that led to his imprisonment, or the exact date and location of the prison visit described.
Threats of this nature directed at prisoners by government officials would raise questions under international norms governing the treatment of detainees, though Anadolu Agency's report does not indicate whether any formal complaint, investigation, or official response has followed the minister's remarks.
Additional biographical details on Salameh and the full context of the reported exchange were not included in the material reviewed for this report.
