07:25: Washington assures that Israel opposes images of Palestinian detainees in underwear
Israel recognizes that the taking and dissemination of images of dozens of Palestinians in underwear in the Gaza Strip was inappropriate and is committed to abandoning the practice, US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller.
Israeli television channels broadcast videos last week showing dozens of Palestinians in their underwear, blindfolded, under the guard of Israeli soldiers in the Gaza Strip, provoking heated controversy on social networks and concern in many capitals.
The United States had publicly expressed its “concern” about the dissemination of such images and indicated that it had contacted the Israeli authorities for explanations.
