Israel’s Ben Gvir says he confiscated improvised cake made by Palestinian prisoners

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir announced that prison authorities confiscated an improvised cake prepared by Palestinian inmates. Following the incident, the prisoners involved were placed in solitary confinement.

Ben-Gvir, who oversees the Israel Prison Service, has previously stated his intention to tighten conditions for Palestinian detainees. This action is part of a broader policy shift aimed at reducing privileges within the prison system, a move the minister has publicly characterized as part of his efforts to make the lives of prisoners more difficult.
