Nine Israeli soldiers charged with sexually abusing a Palestinian prisoner

Tally Gotliv, a member of Netanyahu’s Likud party, also appeared on the scene and stood next to armed and masked activists. “No one will decide for us what is right and what is not right in protests,” she said later.

In May, CNN reported that Palestinians arrested in Gaza were subjected to brutal conditions in the camp, with some of them being blindfolded and beaten.

A New York Times investigation also found that about 1,200 Palestinian civilians have been held in the camp “without the opportunity to argue their cases before a judge for up to 75 days.” The detainees can also be denied access to a lawyer for up to 90 days.

Seven detainees told the New York Times that they were forced to wear diapers during interrogations. Three said they were given electric shocks.

The Israeli government announced last month that it would begin reducing the number of prisoners held in the camp.
