Eight Palestinian Prisoners Put in Solitary Confinement Over Cake Celebrating Ben-Gvir’s Possible Departure

Eight Palestinian prisoners were punished with solitary confinement after making a cake from leftover food to celebrate the prospect of Itamar Ben-Gvir’s departure.

The celebration concerned his possible exit, rather than a confirmed departure. The prisoners had used food remnants to prepare the cake.

Ben-Gvir boasted of thwarting what he described as their plot, portraying the incident as an attempt he had stopped.

He also used the episode to urge people to vote for his party, turning the prisoners’ celebration and subsequent punishment into a political appeal.
