Supreme Court says Israeli government must allow Red Cross to visit Palestinian prisoners

Israel's Supreme Court has ruled that the government must allow the International Committee of the Red Cross to visit Palestinian prisoners. According to Middle East Eye, the court found that the government was violating its previous order to permit these visits. The judges instructed the government to arrange for the visits "with the required speed", as more than three months had passed since the original ruling.

The court gave the government until 11 October to confirm whether it had completed arrangements to resume the visits.

There was no direct comment from the Israeli government on this ruling.
