Israel's Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, engaged in a heated exchange with Mahmoud Attallah, a terrorist convicted in the "female guards escort" case involving sexual offenses against female guards, including soldiers. The unusual encounter occurred approximately two months ago during one of Ben-Gvir's professional tours of prisons. Attallah, who was convicted in 2025 for his crimes, complained to the minister about his current prison conditions, stating he only had a mattress and a blanket and that previously he had "everything," including food, outings, and clothes. Ben-Gvir responded sharply, reminding Attallah of his offenses against female soldiers and nurses. "It's over, Attallah, it's over! You hurt our fighters, my sisters. You think I'll stay silent?" Ben-Gvir declared. He further clarified that he has no intention of changing the prison conditions policy, stating, "What did you expect here? This is a prison! Since I entered, there's no summer camp and no hotel. There's the bare minimum. The party is over!"
