  • Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir is proud of making imprisoned Hamas official Hassan Salameh's conditions hellish.
  • Ben-Gvir claims Salameh, responsible for 46 deaths, has significantly deteriorated physically and mentally.
  • The minister alleges Salameh previously received preferential treatment and special meals in prison.
  • Ben-Gvir is using Salameh's case to campaign for public support for broader security reforms.
  • The changes were implemented within the Prison Service and potentially other security bodies.

Israel's Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, stated that changes he initiated in the conditions of imprisoned senior Hamas official Hassan Salameh have led to a significant deterioration in the latter's health. Ben-Gvir, speaking on Radio Galey Israel, described the preferential treatment Salameh allegedly received in prison prior to Ben-Gvir's tenure. He claimed Salameh, responsible for the deaths of 46 Jews, was overweight, studying, issuing orders, and had special meals including poultry, meat, grape leaves, and baklava.

Ben-Gvir contrasted this with Salameh's current condition, stating, "Look how he looks today. His eyes transmitted fear to me. His body looks like a shadow of a person." He expressed pride in these changes, calling them the "minimum of the minimum." The minister further declared, "For this hell that I have made for him, I ask the public to choose me so that I can make the same changes I made in the Prison Service, the police, the emergency squads, the weapons, and also in the Israel Defense Forces."
