In a statement issued Tuesday, the Palestinian resistance movement explained that passing this fascistic and sadistic legislation in full view of the world constitutes a blatant disregard for international laws and conventions, particularly international humanitarian law and human rights principles.

Hamas called on the international community, the United Nations, and all human rights organizations to condemn this dangerous, racist and occupation-based legislation, impose deterrent sanctions on the rogue entity, and pressure it to retract the bill.

The group also called for the formation of international commissions of inquiry to visit Israeli prisons and investigate the conditions of Palestinian prisoners, who are subjected to systematic torture and ill-treatment, which has led to the deaths of dozens.

More than 9,100 Palestinians are currently imprisoned in Israeli jails. Among them are at least 400 children and minors, and 3,455 administrative detainees—those held without charge or trial. In addition, approximately 350 prisoners have been sentenced to life imprisonment. There are also hundreds of sick prisoners, whose exact number has not been determined by the Palestinian Prisoners Club.

Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails are subjected to various forms of torture, including sleep deprivation, denial of medication, and extremely meagre food rations, sometimes amounting to only a few dozen grams. These rations do not even reach half the recommended daily caloric intake, as stipulated by international standards such as the World Health Organization (2,000 calories).

At least 311 Palestinian prisoners have died from torture and neglect in Israeli jails, according to the Palestinian Prisoners Club.
