The Palestinian Legislative Council in Gaza has raised concerns over the treatment of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli detention centers, calling for international inspections following the release of several detainees who appeared frail and malnourished.
Among those released was Aziz Dweik, the former Speaker of the Council, who had been held for nine months on accusations of Hamas affiliation. Dweik's physical deterioration upon release has sparked outrage within the Council, with allegations of starvation, isolation, and torture being leveled against Israeli authorities.
