HERE IS THE GIST: 9 ISRAELI SOLDIERS are ACCUSED of ANALLY RAPING PALESTINIAN SOLDIER(S)
From the article:
The current conflict between Gallant and Ben-Gvir comes after the Military Police arrested nine ISRAELI soldiers accused of raping a Palestinian prisoner.
The Israeli investigation of the rape became necessary after reports by CNN, the New York Times (archived) and the Washington Post (archived) reported about prisoner abuse and murder in Israeli jails. The reports threatened to trigger international investigations:
Judicial officials told Ynet that the serious suspicions must be investigated. "An internal Israeli investigation is better than an international probe," the report said.
"Abuse of prisoners could cause unprecedented damage internationally.
Internal investigations protect Israel from the International tribunals in the Hague.
If we do not investigate, we are ensuring the political and military leaders end up before those courts and Israel subjected to grave steps. The suspects were detained for questioning and not arrested. They will receive a fair and just due process."
