A single Hebrew-language Telegram source reports the Red Cross will be permitted to visit imprisoned Nukhba terrorists. The report emerges hours after a coalition bill to bar such visits failed in the Knesset. No official confirmation has been issued.
A single Hebrew-language Telegram source reported Monday evening that the Red Cross will be permitted to visit Nukhba terrorists in Israeli prisons. The report, which is unconfirmed by any official Israeli body, arrives hours after a coalition bill to bar such visits failed in the Knesset following a boycott by Haredi factions. As The Zioneer reported earlier Monday, the bill's defeat, reported by N12 political correspondent Daphna Liel, embarrassed the coalition and led to recriminations between coalition partners. The Red Cross has historically conducted visits to Palestinian security prisoners under the Geneva Conventions, but a 2024 law categorically barred such visits for prisoners designated as enemy combatants, a category that includes Nukhba operatives involved in the Oct. 7, 2023, attack. The current report's impact remains unclear pending official confirmation or further details.
