Israel blocks Red Cross access to Palestinian prisoners despite court ruling
Israel has expanded restrictions on Red Cross access to Palestinian prisoners despite a High Court ruling declaring the ban unlawful. New regulations limit visits to 30 minutes, restrict access to certain prisoners, and require pre-submission of visit lists, defying judicial orders to resume visits after a prior ban following the 2023 October attacks.
