National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir denounces the High Court’s ruling against his prison feeding policies, questioning whether the judges are “of Israel.”

“Our hostages in Gaza have no High Court to defend them. The murderous Nukhba terrorists and abominable rapists have, to our disgrace, the High Court protecting them,” Ben Gvir adds. He asserts the the policy of providing “the most minimal conditions under the law” for prisoners will be preserved.

Justice Minister Yariv Levin makes similar comments, saying that “while the hostages are being starved in the tunnels, a duo of judges in the High Court require that the food given to the worst terrorists be improved.”
