UN describes video of Ben-Gvir threatening Barghouti as 'disturbing'

The United Nations has described a video of Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's threatening visit to imprisoned Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti as "disturbing." A spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General stated that prisoners must be treated in accordance with international law and with respect for their inherent dignity. The UN further emphasized that Barghouti's rights must be fully respected and his safety ensured. Barghouti has been detained since 2002 and his family expressed concern over his appearance in the video.
