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 said on Sunday that the state was legally obligated to provide prisoners with enough nutrition to ensure 'a basic level of existence'.
Thousands of Palestinians have been held in Israeli jails for years, including over terror charges - and thousands more have been detained since the war began in October 2023.
Talks for a ceasefire have stalled but on Sunday night, US President Donald Trump issued a 'last warning' to Hamas, urging them to accept a deal to release Israeli hostages from Gaza.
On a post on Truth Social, he said that Israel had accepted his terms, and it was 'time for Hamas to accept them as well'. The president wrote that 'this is my last warning, there will not be another one!'
Hamas responded in a statement and said it was ready to 'immediately sit at the negotiating table' following 'some ideas from the American side aimed at reaching a ceasefire agreement'. Trump's remarks highlighted the ongoing negotiations around hostage situations and the future of conflict resolution.
Palestinian detainees released back to Gaza had previously told the BBC they were subjected to mistreatment and torture at the hands of Israeli military and prison staff.
Israel's Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir lashed out at Sunday's ruling on 'X', writing that Israeli hostages in Gaza had no Supreme Court to protect them and he would continue to enforce the 'minimum conditions required by law' on 'imprisoned terrorists'.
Reports from health officials in Gaza noted that at least 87 people had been killed over the last 24 hours, mirroring the rise in tensions within the broader context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
