Israeli rights group details systematic abuse of Palestinians in Israel's jails
A report from Israeli rights group B'Tselem indicated that Palestinian prisoners were subjected to arbitrary beatings and sexual abuse. The report came out days after the Israeli military detained nine soldiers accused of severe abuse of a prisoner in a military facility in the Negev desert.
Israel has conducted a systematic policy of prisoner abuse and torture since the start of the war in Gaza, subjecting Palestinian detainees to acts ranging from arbitrary violence to sexual abuse, a report from Israeli rights group B'Tselem said on Monday.
The group said the report was based on interviews with 55 Palestinians from Gaza, the West Bank and Israel, who were detained in Israeli prisons since the Oct. 7 attack on Israel that set off the war, most of them without being tried.
"The testimonies clearly indicate a systematic, institutional policy focused on the continual abuse and torture of all Palestinian prisoners held by Israel," the report said.
Hiroshima marks 79th anniversary of atomic bombing
Hiroshima marked the 79th anniversary on Tuesday of its atomic bombing by the United States, with its mayor urging people to unite in prompting world leaders to shift away from nuclear deterrence amid global conflicts including Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas war in the Middle East.
In the Peace Declaration, read during the annual ceremony in the Peace Memorial Park, Hiroshima Mayor Kazumi Matsui said such global tragedies seem to be "deepening distrust and fear among nations, reinforcing the public assumption that, to solve international problems, we have to rely on military force, which we should be rejecting."
"Policymakers can overcome even critical situations through resolute commitment to dialogue," the mayor said, noting that the Cold War was brought to an end through dialogue between Mikhail Gorbachev, the last leader of the Soviet Union, and then U.S. President Ronald Reagan.
Israeli minister says it may be ‘moral’ to starve 2 million Gazans, but ‘no one in the world would let us’
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said “it may be just and moral” to starve 2 million Gaza residents until Israeli hostages are returned, but “no one in the world would let us.”
In a speech on Monday at the Katif Conference for National Responsibility in the town of Yad Binyamin, the far-right minister said Israel should take control of distributing aid inside Gaza and claimed that Hamas was in control of distribution channels within the strip.
“It is impossible in today’s global reality to wage war – no one in the world would let us starve and thirst two million citizens, even though it may be just and moral until they return our hostages,” he said, adding that if Israel controlled aid distribution instead of Hamas, the war would have ended by now and the hostages would have returned.
