RAMALLAH, December 31, 2024 (WAFA) – The Israeli occupation government continued to procrastinate in responding to demands to allow the International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC) to visit Palestinian detainees, who suffer from inhumane detention conditions.

The occupation government submitted a request to the Israeli Supreme Court, the sixth of its kind, to postpone consideration of a petition demanding that the ICRC be allowed to visit Palestinian detainees, according to the Hebrew newspaper Haaretz.

The newspaper indicated that the petition was submitted in February by human rights organizations to resume the UCRC visits that had been suspended since the start of the Israeli genocide on the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023.

The occupation government requested to postpone submitting its final position to the court for the sixteenth time, citing "sensitive security and political reasons."
