Mohammad Majadla, a commentator for Channel 12 and a radio host, has launched a campaign to encourage voter turnout within the Arab community. As part of a series of lectures, Majadla criticized National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and his policies concerning security prisoners in Israeli jails.
Majadla claimed that the minister's policies are harming the prisoners' conditions and accused Ben-Gvir of responsibility for their suffering. Majadla stated that in his work, he speaks daily with Palestinians from Gaza, the West Bank, and the Arab world. He described dire conditions, saying, "There are people who haven't tasted meat in three years. They get one cup of rice every four days." He alleged that decisions by the minister have banned the entry of vegetables and other foods into prisons.
Majadla also mentioned that fellow journalist Saeed Hasnin was arrested for a journalistic interview, not for carrying out a terrorist attack. Majadla further attacked Ben-Gvir, stating the minister "boasts daily that he wants to destroy more homes in the Negev, to worsen the situation of the prisoners." According to Majadla, Ben-Gvir enters prisoner cells and tells them, "You need to die," which he claims violates international conventions.
Minister Ben-Gvir responded to Majadla, saying, "Mohammad, God willing. I will not only handle national security but also the Ministry of Defense. On Tuesday, put a 'B' in the ballot box!"
