10,000 Palestinians Detained: Torture and New Execution Law

"Nearly 10,000 Palestinians are currently being held, as we speak, in these detention facilities, each and every one of them subjected to abuse." Watch B'Tselem's Executive Director, Yulia Novak, speaking with CNN journalist Christiane Amanpour about a death penalty law passed in the Knesset. Since October 2023, Israel has killed at least 72,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and at least 1,050 in the West Bank. During this period, 80 Palestinian prisoners have died in Israeli custody in detention facilities that have effectively become a network of torture camps. The new law institutionalizes the execution of Palestinians and adds another official killing tool to existing practices of systematic oppression and lethal use of force. edition.cnn.com/2026/04/10/t… [Translated from EN to English]
