Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and MK Gideon Sa'ar have strongly criticized the leaking of a video related to the Sde Yemen case, emphasizing its detrimental impact on Israel's image and the rights of soldiers. The U.S. government has also weighed in, stressing the importance of the rule of law and due process in investigations of alleged abuse.
The ongoing investigation into the treatment of detainees at the Sde Yemen base has sparked significant controversy, with allegations of abuse and overcrowding in Israeli prisons being highlighted in a recent report by B'Tselem. As the High Court hears arguments regarding the conditions of these prisons, the Israeli government maintains that it is taking steps to improve facilities.
