So conditions in the prisons are horrific.

There's complete impunity for abusing Palestinian prisoners.

We know of around 100 prisoners who died in detention.

The number's probably higher.

So people are being tortured.

They're emerging from prison emaciated.

They're on starvation rations.

The government has been repeatedly told...

by the Israeli Supreme Court that it needs to increase rations to prisoners because they aren't being starved and has not done so.

The security minister, Ben-Gavir, has boasted of keeping people on starvation rations.

So, you know, that's just another layer of concern, really, about these trials that you will be putting people on trial who have been tortured, potentially using confessions extracted under torture.

Well, you know, that's a good question, Annie, because I think on the one hand, you know, broadly speaking, people are very keen to see justice done.

But at the same time, you know, we've seen a long sustained campaign by members of the public, survivors, relatives of people who were killed for an independent commission of inquiry into October 7th.

And the government's blocking that.

They're saying they're going to set up their own commission of inquiry, but it won't have the same independence.

It won't have the same power to summon witnesses.

And I think...

You know, in a way, the questions about these tribunals go to the same question.

You know, the government says this is about justice, but critics would say, actually, this is not about real justice, about real accountability, about truly finding out what happened on October 7th, who committed these crimes against humanity.

and who directed them and the failings on the Israeli side that left so many thousands of Israelis vulnerable.
