In June 2026, Israel's Supreme Court ruled that the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) must be allowed to visit Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli facilities. This ruling addresses concerns raised by organizations such as Physicians for Human Rights and the Palestinian Prisoner Society about alleged abuses, including cavity searches conducted without apparent security justification.

The decision is contested by various parties regarding its implementation and effectiveness in ensuring prisoners' rights. The case centers on the balance between security measures and humanitarian oversight in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with the court's ruling representing a significant legal step but facing criticism over its practical impact.
