The Minister of National Security of the Israeli occupation government, Itmar Ben-Gvir, ordered the closure of bakeries in Rimon and Ketziot prisons which include Palestinian prisoners.

According to the Israeli newspaper Maariv, Ben-Gvir took this step on the pretext that those who manage the bakeries in those prisons were a group of Palestinian prisoners, depriving them of the privileges granted to them.

Within the same context, A Palestinian Prisoners Affairs Authority official told Israeli newspaper "Israel Today" that increasing pressure on prisoners inside prisons would inflame the security situation in the region, especially after recent provocative actions practiced by the prison administration against them.
