  "summary": "Israel's far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has boasted about worsening conditions for Palestinian prisoners. According to a video posted by Ben Gvir, a prisoner said inmates had not bathed for three days or changed their underwear, warning that the conditions could lead to disease.\n\nBen Gvir responded approvingly, saying he was “proud” that prison conditions had been reduced to the “bare minimum” and declaring that “the summer camps in the prisons are over”. The Palestinian Authority’s Commission on Detainees Affairs accused Ben Gvir of “brutality, hatred and racism”.\n\nBen Gvir also compared the treatment of Palestinian prisoners to that of hostages held by Hamas and other militants in Gaza, with Hindustan Times reporting that he responded approvingly to the comparison of prisoners being held for up to two years.",
