Story summary

Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel’s security minister and a far-right figure, released a video on social media threatening to kill Hassan Salameh, a senior Hamas leader serving multiple life sentences for orchestrating attacks in 1996. The threats come amid rising tensions leading up to Israel’s October 27 elections. Palestinian groups, including the Prisoners Media Office and Hamas, have denounced Ben-Gvir's actions as politically motivated and cowardly bullying against a defenseless prisoner. They argue that Israeli authorities are responsible for ensuring Salameh's safety. This incident highlights Ben-Gvir’s history of inflammatory rhetoric towards Palestinians in Israeli prisons.
