OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (The Palestine Information Centre)The Hamas Movement has condemned the Israeli National Security Minister, Itamar Ben Gvir’s decision to reduce family visits to Palestinian prisoners, labeling it as a new crime.
In a press statement on Friday, Hamas stressed that Ben Gvir’s decision constitutes part of the sadist policies practiced by the Israeli fascist government.
