A recorded one million arrests have been made since the start of Israel’s occupation of Palestinian lands since 1948
Today, approximately 6,500 prisoners are incarcerated in Israeli jails, including 56 female prisoners, which also includes 13 minor girls. Occupation authorities hold prisoners in 24 prisons and detention centers.
There are around 300 children and minors in Israeli jails, distributed between the Megiddo, Ofer and Hasharon prisons.
Veteran prisoners: This a term used for prisoners who have spent over 20 years in incarceration. There are 44 Palestinian veteran prisoners, including 29 who have been in jail prior to the signing of the Oslo Accords in 1993.
The oldest-serving prisoners are Karim and Maher Younis from the 1948 territories, who have been in jail since January, 1983. There is also Nael Barghouthi, who has spent the longest period in Israeli jails, over 36 years, including 34 consecutive years and over two years more after Israeli authorities re-arrested him in 2014. At the time, Barghouthi was released during the Shalit prisoner swap before being re-arrested.
There are around 500 administrative detainees currently in Israeli jails.
Israeli occupation authorities have arrested 13 PLC members, the longest serving member being Marwan Barghouthi, who was arrested in 2002 and is serving five life sentences. There is also Ahmad Saadat, who was arrested in 2006 and is serving a 30-year sentence. Since the beginning of 2017, Israeli authorities have arrested six PLC members.
Sick and wounded prisoners: There are hundreds of sick prisoners inside Israeli jails including 20 prisoners in the Ramleh Prison Clinic. One prisoner is Mansour Muqada from the Salfeet district who is serving a 30-year sentence.
Prisoner martyrs: These are prisoners who were killed while being arrested by the Israeli army and also prisoners who died while incarcerated as a result of intentional medical negligence, torture or mistreatment. These total 210 cases.
Since the start of the Aqsa Intifada on September 28, 2000, official and human rights institutions recorded approximately 10,000 cases of arrest, including 15,000 children under the age of 18, 1,500 women and around 70 former PLC members and ministers. Israeli authorities also issued 27,000 administrative detention orders. Since October, 2015, Israeli authorities have arrested 10,000 Palestinians, one-third of whom are from Jerusalem.
Most prominent violations and methods of abuse used against children: night arrests, severe beatings in front of their parents, being shot during their arrest, handcuffed, shackled and blindfolded, delays in informing them of their right to legal aid, etc. There has been an increase in the number of wounded children while, since October, 2015, Israeli occupation forces have escalated incidents of opening fire at children during their arrest therefore causing injuries and physical disabilities, some of them permanent.
The Palestinian Prisoner Affairs Commission has documented over 120 Knesset bills against Palestinian prisoners and more than 30 laws that are in the various stages of legislation.
A total of 13 bills have been submitted against prisoners in the Israeli Knesset since 2015, many of which were ratified, including the law to force feed prisoners on hunger strike, which is one of the most dangerous laws that threaten prisoners’ lives. Moreover, according to the International Committee of the Red Cross and the World Medical Association, this is considered a form of torture and an unethical procedure that contravenes with professional medical conventions.
One of these laws stipulated handing down higher sentences to children who throw stones. The law stipulates that a prison sentence of up to 10 years may be handed down to rock throwers even without a clear intention to cause harm. This law has been described as criminal and is divided into two: the first is a sentence of up to 10 years for rock-throwers even without ill intent, while the second is the crime of throwing rocks with the intention to kill, the maximum sentence for which is 20 years.
Another is the law to raise the minimum punishment for rock-throwers in Jerusalem. This law sets the minimum at a prison sentence of two-four years, a revocation of national insurance allocations from the Jerusalemite family and forcing them to pay compensation to Israelis harmed in the incident. A current bill would lead to the indictment of the individual in question with a conviction of incitement without any actual proof of this charge. This has been considered an impingement on the freedom of expression and protest, especially for social media activists.
The law allowing body searches without suspicion gives Israeli police the green light to conduct body searches at a whim. There is also a law allowing the trial and imprisonment of children under 14 years of age. The law stipulates that the court can try children as young as 12 but that an actual prison sentence can only begin after they reach 14 years of age, thereby setting the age of criminal responsibility at 12. A child can be arrested and interrogated and then after he/she is convicted they are sent to a closed juvenile rehabilitation center until they turn 14.
The ‘exemption law’ exempts Israeli intelligence and police from having to conduct any audio or visual documentation of the investigation process
Israeli criminal law is applicable in the occupied territories for settlers, which stipulates the replacement of the status quo with the application of Israeli law in the West Bank. This is all to the benefit of settlers in the West Bank so there is no ‘discrimination’ between them and the rest of the Israeli population.
Execution of prisoners: A bill for the execution of settlers stipulates that Palestinian prisoners should be put to death under the pretext of their conviction for killing Israelis. The bill was presented by a Yisrael Beiteinu Knesset member.
Bill to convict Palestinians without suspicion. The law allows the court to convict an individual even if there are no witnesses or without Israeli security services bringing them in. The anti-terror law is aimed at meting out severe punishment for those involved in resisting the occupation, whereby a prison sentence of 25 years can be handed down to the head of any Palestinian organization and 15 years for any person with an administrative or leadership position in that organization. The law also stipulates that the parole committee cannot submit a recommendation to the President to reduce a life sentence until 15 years after their arrest.
The Israeli civil courts law recognizes military court rulings in the West Bank as an acceptable tool in procedures in civil courts in order to facilitate for Israeli settles to demand compensation through these courts.
The bill to deprive prisoners of education: this law stipulates that a Palestinian political [security] prisoner does not have the right to study in higher education institutions. The bill calls for an amendment of prison regulations so as not to grant prisoners the opportunity to receive an education.
The bill to withhold a portion of the PA’s financial revenues; this stipulates the withholding of part of the revenues equal to the size of allocations paid to the families of prisoner and martyrs.

* سجل نحو مليون حالة اعتقال منذ بدايات الاحتلال الإسرائيلي للأراضي الفلسطينية في العام 1948.
* يبلغ عدد الأسرى داخل سجون الاحتلال نحو 6500، بينهم 56 أسيرة، ومن بين تلك الأسيرات 13 فتاة قاصرا. ويحتجز الاحتلال الأسرى في 24 سجناً ومركز توقيف وتحقيق.
* يبلغ عدد الأسرى الأطفال والقاصرين نحو 300، موزعين على سجون مجدو، وعوفر، وهشارون.
* الأسرى القدامى: هو مصطلح يُطلق على من مضى على اعتقاله أكثر من 20 سنة. ويبلغ عددهم اليوم 44 أسيراً، بينهم 29 أسيراً معتقلين منذ ما قبل توقيع اتفاقية "أوسلو" في العام 1993.
* أقدم الأسرى هما الأسيران كريم يونس وماهر يونس من فلسطين عام 1948، والمعتقلان منذ يناير/كانون الثاني 1983، والأسير نائل البرغوثي الذي قضى أطول فترة اعتقال في سجون الاحتلال، وهي أكثر من 36 عاماً، بينهم 34 سنة بشكل متواصل، وأكثر من عامين بعد أن أعادت سلطات الاحتلال اعتقاله في العام 2014، علماً أنه أحد محرري صفقة "وفاء الأحرار".
* يبلغ عدد الأسرى الإداريين في سجون الاحتلال نحو 500 أسير.
* تعتقل سلطات الاحتلال 13 نائباً في المجلس التشريعي. أقدمهم الأسير مروان البرغوثي المعتقل منذ العام 2002، والمحكوم بالسجن لخمسة مؤبدات، بالإضافة إلى الأسير أحمد سعدات المعتقل منذ العام 2006، والمحكوم بالسجن لمدة 30 سنة. يشار إلى أن سلطات الاحتلال اعتقلت ستة نواب منذ بداية العام 2017.
*الأسرى المرضى والجرحى: هناك المئات من الأسرى المرضى داخل السجون، منهم نحو 20 أسيراً يقبعون في "عيادة سجن الرملة"، بينهم الأسير منصور موقده، من محافظة سلفيت، والمحكوم بالسجن لمدة 30 سنة.
*الأسرى الشهداء: هم الذين استشهدوا أثناء اعتقالهم على يد الجيش الإسرائيلي وأعدموا خارج إطار القانون، وأيضاً الأسرى الذين استشهدوا في السجون نتيجة الإهمال الطبي المتعمد أو عمليات القمع والتعذيب. وقد بلغ عددهم 210 شهداء.
* منذ بدء انتفاضة الأقصى، في 28 سبتمبر/أيلول 2000، سجلت المؤسسات الرسمية والحقوقية قرابة 100 ألف حالة اعتقال، بينهم نحو 15 ألف طفل تقل أعمارهم عن 18 سنة، و1500 امرأة، ونحو 70 نائباً ووزيراً سابقاً، وأصدرت 27 ألف قرار اعتقال إداري. ومنذ أكتوبر/تشرين الأول 2015، اعتقلت سلطات الاحتلال 10 آلاف فلسطيني، ثلثهم من القدس.
*أبرز الانتهاكات والأساليب التنكيلية التي نُفذت بحق الأطفال هي: اعتقالهم ليلاً، والاعتداء عليهم بالضرب المبرح متعمدين القيام بذلك أمام ذويهم، وإطلاق النار عليهم قبل عملية اعتقالهم واقتيادهم وهم مكبلو الأيدي والأرجل ومعصوبو الأعين، والمماطلة بإعلامهم أن لديهم الحق بالمساعدة القانونية.. وقد ازدادت أعداد الأطفال الجرحى، بعدما صعدت قوات الاحتلال منذ أكتوبر/تشرين الأول 2015، من إطلاق النار عليهم، قبل عملية اعتقالهم، وقد تسببت هذه الإصابات بإعاقات جسدية منها ما هو دائم.
*رصدت هيئة شؤون الأسرى والمحررين الفلسطينيين، ما يزيد عن 120 مشروع قانونٍ لحكومة الاحتلال الإسرائيلي بحق الأسرى الفلسطينيين في سجونها، وأكثر من 30 قانوناً دخلت في مراحل التشريع.
*قدم 13 مشروع قانون ضد الأسرى في الكنيست الإسرائيلي منذ 2015، جزءٌ كبيرٌ منها تمت المصادقة عليه، منها قانون التغذية القسرية للأسرى المضربين عن الطعام، والذي يعتبر من أخطر القوانين التي تهدد حياة الأسرى، كما يعتبر حسب الصليب الأحمر الدولي واتحاد الأطباء العالمي، نوعاً من التعذيب، وإجراءً غير أخلاقي يتنافى مع الأعراف المهنية الطبية.
*بين القوانين المشينة، قانون رفع الأحكام بحق الأطفال راشقي الحجارة، وهو قانون ينص على إمكانية فرض عقوبة السجن لمدة عشر سنوات على راشقي الحجارة، حتى من دون إثبات نية إلحاق الضرر، حيث وصف القانون رشق الحجارة بالجريمة، وقسمها إلى مستويين، الأول الحكم على راشقي الحجارة لمدة أقصاها 10 سنوات، دون الحاجة إلى إثبات نية القتل، والثاني جريمة رشق الحجارة مع إثبات نية القتل والعقوبة القصوى لها عشرون عاماً.
* قانون تشديد عقوبة الحد الأدنى على راشقي الحجارة في القدس والذي ينص على فرض عقوبة السجن الفعلي لمدة عامين إلى 4 أعوام، وسحب مخصصات التأمين الوطني من أسرى القدس، وإجبارهم على دفع تعويضات للإسرائيليين المتضررين. ويؤدي مشروع قانون حالي إلى إدانة الشخص بتهمة التحريض دون وجود إثباتات عملية على التحريض، حيث اعتبر مساساً بحرية التعبير والاحتجاج، وخاصة النشطاء على مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي.
* " قانون التفتيش الجسدي دون وجود شبهات، يمنح أفراد الشرطة صلاحية إجراء تفتيش جسدي حتى على عابر سبيل" ويسمح قانون محاكمة الأطفال دون سن 14 عاماً، بمحاكمة وسجن الأطفال، وهو يتعلق بالأطفال الفلسطينيين الذين يخضعون لقانون الأحداث الإسرائيلي المدني، كأطفال القدس، وينص القانون على أن المحكمة تستطيع أن تحاكم أطفالاً من سن 12 عاماً، لكن عقوبة السجن الفعلي تبدأ بعد بلوغهم سن 14 عاماً، بحيث يصبح سن المسؤولية الجنائية 12 عاماً، ويمكن اعتقال طفل والتحقيق معه وبعد إدانته يتم إرساله إلى إصلاحية مغلقة، ويبقى فيها إلى أن يبلغ 14 عاماً. أما قانون التفتيش الجسدي دون وجود شبهات، فيمنح أفراد الشرطة صلاحية إجراء تفتيش جسدي حتى على عابر سبيل غير مشتبه به بزعم مكافحة العنف، وبالتالي يصبح كل فلسطيني عرضة للتفتيش الجسدي دون اشتباه ملموس.
* يعفي قانون إعفاء المخابرات من توثيق التحقيق، جهاز المخابرات الإسرائيلي والشرطة الإسرائيلية من توثيق التحقيقات بالصوت والصورة، وذلك لمدة خمس سنوات إضافية.
* يتم تطبيق القانون الجنائي الإسرائيلي في الأراضي المحتلة لصالح المستوطنين، وينص على استبدال الوضع القائم، وتطبيق القوانين الإسرائيلية على الضفة الغربية، وذلك لخدمة المستوطنين في الضفة، حتى لا يكون هناك تمييز حسب زعمه بينهم وبين بقية الإسرائيليين.
* إعدام الأسرى: وينص مشروع قانون إعدام الأسرى على إعدام أسرى فلسطينيين بحجة إدانتهم بعمليات قُتل فيها إسرائيليون، وقدم المشروع عضو الكنيست من حزب (إسرائيل بيتنا).
* مشروع قانون لإدانة فلسطينيين دون شبهات بغرض التضييق أكثر على المعتقلين الفلسطينيين وإدانتهم حتى من دون وجود إثبات، ويسمح القانون للمحكمة بإدانة أشخاص حتى في حال عدم تواجد شهود أو عدم قدرة أجهزة الأمن على إحضارهم. ويهدف قانون محاربة الإرهاب التشديد بشكل كبير على معاقبة الضالعين في مقاومة الاحتلال بحيث يفرض عقوبة السجن لمدة 25 عاماً على رئيس أي تنظيم فلسطيني، و15 سنة على من يشغل منصباً إدارياً أو قيادياً في التنظيم، كما ينص القانون على أن لجنة إطلاق السراح لا تقدم توصية إلى رئيس الدولة بتقليص محكومية من حكم عليه بالسجن المؤبد إلا بعد مرور 15 سنة على اعتقاله.
* يعترف قانون اعتراف المحاكم المدنية الإسرائيلية بقرارات المحاكم العسكرية في الضفة الغربية كأداة مقبولة في الإجراءات المدنية في المحاكم الإسرائيلية، ويهدف إلى التسهيل على المستوطنين الإسرائيليين المطالبة بالتعويضات بواسطة إجراءات مدنية.
* مشروع قانون حرمان الأسرى من التعليم: ينص على أن الأسير الفلسطيني الأمني ليس من حقه الدراسة في مؤسسة التعليم العالي، ويطالب مشروع القانون بتعديل لوائح السجون لعدم منح الأسرى فرصة التعليم. * مشروع قانون احتجاز جزء من المستحقات المالية للسلطة الفلسطينية، فهو لاحتجاز جزء من المستحقات المالية للسلطة الوطنية الفلسطينية يوازي حجم المخصصات التي تُدفع كإعانات للأسرى والشهداء.
Healthcare Restricted: Female Cancer Patients in Gaza
Date posted: June 07, 2023
By MIFTAH
Background:
The Israeli-imposed siege and the frequent aggressions targeting medical facilities in Gaza have debilitated the health sector and its capacity to provide proper medical services. This is exacerbated in cases of chronic diseases, which gives rise to a need to leave the Gaza Strip to receive medical treatment in the occupied West Bank, including Jerusalem, or elsewhere. However, Israel imposes a strict and discriminatory permit regime, which has a disproportionate impact on medical patients given their conditions, and it is not unusual for these permits to be significantly delayed or ultimately refused by Israel.
The Palestinian Initiative for the Promotion of Global Dialogue and Democracy (MIFTAH) collected questionnaires from 102 women diagnosed with cancer in the Gaza Strip to assess the quality of the treatment, availability of equipment, accessibility, and referral process.
The 16-year-long Israeli-imposed blockade and closure on Gaza have had detrimental impacts on the health sector in the besieged Strip. Specifically, the siege has compromised the ability of the healthcare sector to deliver proper medical services due to the absence of crucial medication, equipment, and supplies under flimsy security pretexts. Ultimately, frequent aggressions and targeting of health facilities and the Israeli-imposed siege on Gaza compromise the availability, accessibility, and quality of healthcare services available to Palestinians in Gaza.
MIFTAH urges the international community to:
Put an end to Israel’s impunity and hold it accountable for its persistent crimes, including the crime against humanity of apartheid, through the adoption of effective and concrete measures;
Exert pressure to lift the blockade on the Gaza Strip and allow for the free movement of people and goods;
Ensure the urgent implementation of UNSCR 1325 to provide immediate protection for Palestinian women and to put an end to Israel’s impunity;
Support the UN Special Rapporteur in the oPt, the International Court of Justice’s advisory opinion, the ICC investigation and the UN Commission of Inquiry.
Financial indicators for the Family Protection Bill
Date posted: May 17, 2023
By MIFTAH
The legislation of the family protection bill is aimed at the protection of the family itself as an institution, and to guarantee its preservation. Palestinian legislators are aware of the importance of this bill, which is why all ministries and official institutions committed to developing its relevant programs, policies and plans, each according to their field of expertise. Their goal is to contribute to the promotion of a culture that combats domestic violence and encourages the response of public policies to this objective, through education, health, legislation and the media. Another objective is to track the bill’s impact and periodically assess it in cooperation with other civil societies. This paper focuses on some of the financial indicators pertaining to this bill.
All family members in Palestine are subjected to violence, including children, minors, women and men. However, married women remain the sector most vulnerable to domestic violence according to a 2019 Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics survey. It said 29.4% of married women had been subjected to at least one type of violence by their husbands as opposed to 13% of men who had been subjected to violence by their wives, by their own confession. A total of 44.7% of individuals who have never been married have been subjected toviolence;7.6% of the elderly and 44.2% of children(12-17yearsold) were the victims of violence at the hands of one of their parents. Although a high percentage of women have been victims of violence from their spouse, a considerable percentage of these women, around 60.3% preferred to stay silent about the assault. Only a small percentage of women asked for help through official avenues; 2.9% went to a defence lawyer to file a lawsuit against their husbands, 1.3% went to the police or a family protection unit and 1.4% went to the centres for mental, social and legal aid.

b. The presiding judge
Presiding judges
ILS1.9 million, based on the number of judges and their mean salaries
Total expected estimated cost
ILS16.2 million
The table above shows that the estimated and main additional cost of the Ministry of Social Development to be around ILS4 million a year, considering that the other parties (police, prosecution and courts) are currently carrying out their roles without fully allocating specialized departments for protection from violence. However, if these parties do allot specialized departments for protection from violence, overall costs will reach approximately ILS16.2 million. Nonetheless, even if this cost is incurred, it still only comprises a small part of public expenditures, approximately 0.1%. Overall public expenditures for 2022 amount to approximately ILS16.2 billion, which means the cost of passing this bill and implementing its provisions will not constitute financial burden on the general budget and will not be an obstacle to ratifying the law by decree.
Furthermore, it should be noted that while it is imperative to calculate some of the costs resulting from violence against women, the reaerate the high costs as well. The secret social costs, which impact society as a whole. Data from the Ministry of Social Development showed (see graph), that violence exercised against women has prompted around 60% of them to flee their homes. Also, 18% of them attempted suicide in addition to suffering from mental and physical illnesses, unwanted pregnancies or others. Calculating expenses incurred from violence is not an easy process and there are no national data or figures that can measure the impact violence has on the state’s general budget due to the prevalent mentality towards violence as an issue associated only with women. This is especially true when the conversation is about the indirect and intangible effects of violence, including:
Violations of human rights; negative social, economic and political impacts; working women who get sick and need to take sick leave; lack of focus and productivity; impact of violence on children and academic failure; the rise in the percentage of school dropouts among children; the rise in long-term unemployment rates; the percentage of homeless children who become a burden on society; government expenditures for medical treatment; safehouses; therapy; monitoring cases of violence against women; individual expenses for following up on legal cases and lawyer fees; loss of income because of repeated absence from work or inefficacy; social expenses resulting from the breakup of the family; expenses of training individuals on how to deal with cases of violence; expenses for issuing laws and legislation on the protection of women from violence.
Confirmation of the above is that the UN believes the economic, social and health costs of violence against women are, to a large extent, undocumented and unrecognized. However, these remain colossal, according to researchers, specialists and defenders of women’s rights.
Israeli state-sanctioned settler terrorism: A gendered lens
Date posted: April 26, 2023
By MIFTAH
Background:
The illegal Israeli settlement project, including settler-only bypass roads, military checkpoints, and the annexation wall, continues to expand and steal more Palestinian land and resources. As of today, the number of illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, including Jerusalem, is close to 300, with around 750,000 Jewish settlers residing in them.
Israeli state-sanctioned settler terrorism against Palestinian civilians and property is prevalent and has been on the rise in recent years. Violence takes the form of psychological, physical, and verbal violence, including beating, throwing stones or sharp tools, intimidation, shooting, verbal assaults, and assaults on agricultural lands, cars, and homes. Such attacks are committed in the presence of Israeli occupation forces who often join them.
The high frequency of these forms of violence and their persistence give rise to psychological, physical, and material harm. Palestinian survivors of settler terrorism seldom press charges and file complaints against Israeli settlers given the complicity of the Israeli law enforcement system.
The Palestinian Initiative for the Promotion of Global Dialogue and Democracy (MIFTAH) and the Women’s Center for Legal and Counseling (WCLAC) collected questionnaires from 229 Palestinian women covering settler violence in the occupied West Bank governorates of Al-Khalil/Hebron, Bethlehem, and Jerusalem.
MIFTAH calls on the international community to:
Put an end to Israel’s impunity and hold it accountable for its persistent crimes, including the crime against humanity of apartheid, through the adoption of effective and concrete measures;
Stop all relations and trade with illegal Israeli settlements including international companies that profit from them;
Criminalize and blacklist Israeli settler groups that engage in terrorist activities and hold those with dual citizenship accountable in their respective states;
Ensure the urgent implementation of UNSCR 1325 to provide immediate protection for Palestinian women and to put an end to Israel’s impunity;
Support the UN Special Rapporteur in the oPt, the International Court of Justice’s advisory opinion, the ICC investigation and the UN Commission of Inquiry.
