A recent report from the UN committee on torture has accused Israel of maintaining a de facto state policy of organized and widespread torture in its detention facilities. This conclusion follows testimonies from both Israeli and Palestinian human rights organizations detailing the dire conditions faced by thousands of Palestinian detainees. Allegations include severe physical abuse, deprivation of basic needs, and the use of laws that allow for prolonged detention without legal representation. The committee emphasized that such treatment could amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity, and called for accountability for those responsible. Israel has rejected these accusations, labeling them as disinformation, while also facing increasing scrutiny over its human rights practices amid ongoing conflict. The report highlights the urgent need for independent investigations into these serious allegations.
