Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir engaged in a heated confrontation with terrorist Mahmoud Attallah during a prison visit approximately two months ago. The encounter, captured on video and released Wednesday, occurred at a jail where Attallah is serving time for severe offenses related to the "female guards affair," for which he was convicted in 2025. Attallah complained about his current prison conditions, stating, "We have nothing, there is a mattress and a blanket." Ben-Gvir countered by asking about the conditions prior to his assuming office. Attallah responded that "there was everything. There was food, there were outings, there were clothes." The minister then sharply rebuked Attallah, declaring, "It's over, Attallah, it's over! You harmed our female fighters, my sisters. Do you think I will be silent? What did you expect? This is a prison! Since I took office, there's no summer camp and no hotel. There is the bare minimum. The party is over!"
