For the second consecutive year, the Israeli occupying authorities have persisted in executing systematic policies within Israeli prisons that, by their very nature and consequences, equate to genocide, mirroring the genocide enacted in the Gaza Strip. Since 7 October 2023, prisons have been converted into open arenas for torture and the gradual execution of prisoners, where severe and systematic violations have been perpetrated. Collectively, these violations form a comprehensive system of oppression aimed at the very existence of the prisoners and eroding their most fundamental rights.  

 

During this period, there has been a notable escalation in patterns of violence, with both physical and psychological torture being inflicted daily and systematically, in addition to intentional medical neglect employed as a means of slow extermination. The offenses were not confined to these acts but also encompassed sexual assaults, systematic degradation, and the intentional deprivation of food, water, and essential life necessities. This situation transforms daily existence within prisons into an unending cycle of torture and attrition, culminating in a slow death, within a context that approaches systematic extermination. 

 

This paper seeks to highlight and document the conditions endured by Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons throughout 2025. It examines the reality of everyday life in Israeli prisons, focusing on the inhumane conditions and systematic forms of physical and psychological torture to which prisoners are subjected.
