Prime Minister's Office Statement
Israel - Prime Minister's Office
The 37th Government
10.03.2024
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, today, at the Kirya in Tel Aviv, held an inter-ministerial security discussion on the issue of the shortage of prison space for security prisoners. The Prime Minister directed the Finance, Defense and National Security ministries to urgently prepare thousands of spaces for new detainees and prisoners.
The directive was issued following a discussion during which the IDF and the ISA presented their assessment that during 2024, thousands of terrorists will be arrested in Gaza and in Judea and Samaria. Since the outbreak of the war, approximately 4,000 terrorists have been arrested, most of them in Gaza, creating an urgent need to prepare for the intake of many more detainees and prisoners.
At the discussion, the Israel Prison Service presented its plans for the intake, based on the preparation of new short- and intermediate-term systems. Prime Minister Netanyahu approved the plan and directed that it be put into operation immediately.
