Conditions of Palestinian detainees downplayed in global arena


Oct. 18, 2025 - Israel has detained thousands of Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank throughout the course of the war, but there is little international attention paid to the condition they are in when released, says Chris Doyle, the director of the London-based Council for Arab-British Understanding (CAABU).

“What strikes me is the way in the international arena that the focus is so much on the Israeli hostages, which is understandable, but there’s absolutely no coverage of these Palestinian prisoners and detainees, the condition in which they are released. Where were they held? The torture, even the accusations of sexual abuse, this is all very much downplayed,” Doyle told Al Jazeera.
