Ben Gvir Confronts Security Prisoner in Gilboa Prison Video
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir released a video confronting a security prisoner at Gilboa Prison, as he faces mounting public criticism over policy and recent political events.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir published a video on X showing a confrontation with security prisoner Mahmoud Atallah at Gilboa Prison. Atallah is serving a life sentence for sexual offenses against female mandatory service guards.
In the video, Ben Gvir confronts Atallah over his prison conditions. "No more summer camp! No hotel prison!" the minister said. "You harmed our female soldiers, and there will be no more of this madness."
Security and Public Backlash
The publication revives trauma for victims of the Gilboa Prison scandal. Former guard Hila previously expressed deep concern over the possibility of Atallah's release in a hostage deal, citing ongoing threats and intimidation.
Simultaneously, Ben Gvir faces mounting public and political criticism. Recent reports indicate he instructed aides to downplay a controversial plan involving crocodiles for prison security to avoid appearing unserious ahead of elections.
Controversial Statements
I am the only one who granted pardons to the Ethiopian community, no police minister ever did.
Ben Gvir also walked out of a youth conference in Jerusalem following a sharp confrontation with the sister of a murder victim, drawing widespread condemnation from social activists and the Ethiopian community.
