Israel's Supreme Court has ruled that the state is failing to provide adequate food to Palestinian prisoners, and must take steps to improve their nutrition. The three-judge bench stated that the government has a legal responsibility to provide prisoners enough nutrition to ensure 'a basic level of existence.' Thousands of Palestinians have been held in Israeli jails for years, including over terror charges, with many more detained since the war in Gaza ignited in October 2023.

Talks for a ceasefire remain stalled as US President Donald Trump issued a 'last warning' to Hamas, urging them to accept a proposed deal for the release of Israeli hostages. While Hamas expressed readiness to negotiate, the Israeli government has been under growing pressure domestically to reach an agreement.

Netanyahu's administration faces intense scrutiny amid protests in Israel calling for an end to military operations in Gaza. Reports indicate that at least 64,368 Palestinians may have died due to the ongoing conflict, a figure that Israel disputes yet is considered credible by the UN.

Human rights organizations, including the Association for Civil Rights in Israel, have criticized prison conditions as inadequate, leading to malnutrition among detainees. The Supreme Court ruling is seen as a crucial step in addressing these humanitarian concerns, though it has faced backlash from rightwing Israeli officials.

As the conflict escalates, the Israeli military continues its operations against alleged Hamas targets, including high-rise buildings in Gaza City, which the Palestinian government refutes claims of being used for military purposes.
