'Our hostages did not have shampoo': Ben-Gvir taunts prisoners complaining about harsh conditions
A statement from Ben-Gvir’s office claimed that the prisoners were female Islamic Jihad terrorists.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir showcased footage from his recent visit to Damon Prison, where he interacted with female prisoners from the Islamic Jihad. The prisoners expressed discontent with their living conditions and the loss of previous amenities. Ben-Gvir retorted, "Our hostages did not have shampoo and did not have these conditions.
I am proud that we succeeded in reducing the conditions for terrorists to the barest of bare minimums. The prison kindergartens are over." He emphasized that the prisoners would receive only the minimum required by law, regardless of their actions. Ben-Gvir's comments came after he sparked controversy with a similar visit to the Port of Ashdod in May, where he berated flotilla activists and called them "supporters of terror."
