Israeli Minister Suggests Detaining Palestinians Near Crocodile Enclosure

Far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has proposed creating a detention facility for Palestinian prisoners surrounded by crocodiles to deter escape attempts. This idea was discussed during a meeting with the Israel Prison Service Chief Commissioner and is planned for a site near Hamat Gader, close to the Golan Heights. Simultaneously, the Knesset is set to vote on a bill that would allow the execution of Palestinian prisoners accused of attacks against Israel. Reports indicate that Israel currently holds over 9,300 Palestinian prisoners amid ongoing human rights violations.
