Palestinian prisoners not being given adequate food, Israel top court says

The Israeli Supreme Court has ruled that Palestinian prisoners are not being provided with adequate food by the state. The court stated that the state is legally obligated to ensure a "basic level of existence" for the prisoners, including providing them with sufficient food. The ruling came in response to a petition filed by several human rights organizations, which argued that the food provided to Palestinian prisoners was insufficient and lacked proper nutrition. The court acknowledged the state's responsibility to meet the basic needs of those in its custody, including providing adequate sustenance. The decision underscores the ongoing concerns regarding the treatment of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails. The court's ruling aims to address the issue and ensure that the state fulfills its legal obligations to provide prisoners with a minimum level of food and nutrition necessary for their well-being.
