'Our Hostages Did Not Have Shampoo': Ben-Gvir Taunts Prisoners Complaining About Harsh Conditions
- On Sunday, August 30, 2026, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir visited female inmates, boasting, "I am proud that we have succeeded in reducing the terrorists' prison conditions to the bare minimum. The summer camps in the prisons are over."
- Earlier, Ben-Gvir posted a video featuring Yasmine Shaaban, a veiled prisoner who described conditions as "extremely bad" and stated detainees "don't get any rights, and we have particular needs as women."
- The Palestinian Authority's Commission on Detainees Affairs accused Ben-Gvir of "brutality, hatred and racism," while The Gaza Prisoners Ministry under Hamas claimed the video "reflects the depths of depravity to which the occupation regime has sunk."
- Defending his actions, Ben-Gvir compared these conditions to hostages held by Hamas in Gaza since Oct 7, 2023, stating, "Our hostages had no shampoo and had no such conditions."
- Ben-Gvir has drawn international condemnation recently, including for taunting activists with "Welcome to Israel" earlier in 2026 and suggesting Israel should kill 30 to 40 Palestinians each night in Gaza.
