After the Public Defender’s Office of the Justice Ministry was forced to reveal reports about visits to four prisons in 2024, showing systematic violence and unsanitary conditions for Palestinian detainees, Sharon discusses the disturbing findings and the yearlong battle by the Association for Civil Rights in Israel to get ahold of the report and make it public.
Sharon also reports on a rally last week at which protesters demanded the enlistment of ultra-Orthodox Jews. He describes the sense of solidarity at the Jerusalem gathering, where thousands of people from the secular and national religious camps spoke out against government-backed legislation seeking to reinstate blanket military service exemptions for ultra-Orthodox yeshiva students.
