Israeli National Security Minister Ben-Gvir Orders Gaza Destruction Photos in Prisons Amid Blockade Shortages

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has instructed the Israeli Prison Service to display photographs depicting the destruction in Gaza within prisons where Palestinian detainees are held. This measure is intended to exert psychological pressure on Palestinian hostages and political prisoners by forcing them to view images of the devastation caused by the ongoing Israeli military offensive. The directive has been confirmed by multiple sources, highlighting that detainees have been exposed to visuals of their destroyed homes and cities. Meanwhile, the blockade on Gaza has led to shortages of essential resources, as exemplified by displaced visual artist Taha Abu Ghali, who reportedly had to destroy his own artworks to use as fuel for cooking due to a lack of gas and heating supplies.
