Israeli Minister Proposes Crocodile Moat for Prisoners

Israel's National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, has proposed holding Palestinian detainees in a special facility surrounded by water with crocodiles. The unusual idea was reported by Israeli media. The country's Prison Service has confirmed it is examining the proposal. A spokesperson called it one of many "unusual proposals" it receives. Ben-Gvir is a far-right politician known for his hardline views. He oversees both the police and the prison system. The report has sparked immediate criticism. Human rights groups call the concept inhumane and a violation of international law. There is no indication the plan will be implemented. The minister's office has not yet commented publicly on the specific proposal.
