Thousands of Israelis have signed a petition urging Defence Minister Israel Katz to immediately close military detention centres where Palestinian detainees are reportedly being tortured, leading to the deaths of dozens.
According to Anadolu Agency on Tuesday, over 4,100 Israelis signed the petition, launched by the movement Zazim – Popular Campaign in cooperation with Israel’s General Committee Against Torture.
Zazim – Popular Campaign is Israel’s largest mass campaign movement, with more than 400,000 members. The petition stated that signatories include both Jewish and Arab Israelis. One of the most notorious military detention centres is Sde Teiman in southern Israel. It has been used by the Israeli army to hold Palestinian detainees from the Gaza Strip since the start of the war on 8 October 2023. The petition said: “Sde Teiman is not an exceptional case. The Israeli army acknowledges that dozens of Palestinian detainees have died in military detention centres.” “These centres can be closed with a single administrative decision by the defence minister. There is no justification for their existence, and as Israeli citizens, we will not accept torture camps on our land.” On Monday, the Israeli organisation Physicians for Human Rights reported that at least 98 Palestinians have died in Israeli detention centres and prisons over the past two years. Of these, 52 died in military detention centres, including 29 at Sde Teiman alone. The report noted that many of these deaths were caused by violence, mistreatment, and medical neglect.

US Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said on Sunday that a foreign government may be pressuring President Donald Trump to keep Jeffrey Epstein files hidden, specifically questioning Israel’s potential involvement with the late sex offender, Anadolu reports.
“I think the question that many Americans are asking” is whether Epstein was working for Israel, Greene told CNN, citing emails released by the House Oversight Committee showing his ties to former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak.
“We saw him making business deals with them, also business deals that involved the Israeli government and seems to have led into their intel agencies,” the Georgia Republican said.
Asked if she was accusing Israel of pushing Trump to cover up the files, Greene said she was questioning “any foreign government” but confirmed Israel “in particular.”
Greene, a longtime loyalist, has criticized the president and her party’s leadership in recent weeks.
Greene said her conflict with Trump stems entirely from her push for Epstein file transparency.
“Unfortunately, it has all come down to the Epstein files, and that is shocking,” she said, adding Trump’s remarks have been “hurtful,” particularly calling her a “traitor.”
“Those are the types of words used that can radicalize people against me and put my life in danger,” Greene said.
“I believe the country deserves transparency in these files,” she said.
Greene denied Trump’s assertion that she criticized him because he discouraged her from running for Senate or Georgia governor.
“That is absolutely not true. Actually, I never had a conversation at all with the president about running for Senate or running for Georgia,” she said, adding she decided independently not to pursue those positions.
Greene said she hopes for reconciliation with Trump. “I certainly hope that we can make up,” she said, noting she speaks for her side.
Trump on Friday officially withdrew his endorsement of Greene, calling her “wacky” and a “Republican in name only (RINO)” on social media after she joined a bipartisan petition to compel the Justice Department to release remaining Epstein files.
He said he would support any challenger who wants to take Greene’s seat in Georgia in the 2026 midterms.
Trump has dismissed the Epstein files issue as a “hoax” concocted by Democrats, while the White House worked to prevent a House vote demanding full file release.

A group of 131 Israeli journalists have signed a petition demanding an immediate end to Israel’s targeting of Palestinian reporters in Gaza and calling for an independent investigation into the killings of media workers during the war, Anadolu reports.
The petition, titled “Journalists Call to End the War,” condemned a systematic assault on press freedom in Gaza.
“We are horrified by the continued killing of journalists in Gaza,” the signatories wrote, adding that those still alive “work under bombardment, without homes, power or internet, and often without food for themselves or their families.”
The journalists cited figures from the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists showing that 168 reporters have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza.
Gaza’s Government Media Office has put the overall death toll of journalists at 247 since October 2023.
The petition accused the Israeli government of deliberately blocking media access by preventing foreign correspondents from entering Gaza, despite repeated appeals to the Supreme Court by the Foreign Press Association.
It also expressed solidarity with Palestinian journalists and demanded accountability.
“We call on our government to stop these attacks immediately and to allow a full, independent investigation into the deaths of our colleagues,” the statement said.
Beyond the battlefield, the signatories criticized Israeli newsrooms for failing to cover the humanitarian toll of the war.
“This militarized framing, justified as serving the public interest, denies Israeli society the information it needs to understand reality,” the petition read. The journalists said military censorship, coupled with self-censorship in many outlets, has severely damaged press freedom.
Some media, they warned, have even provided space for “explicit calls to commit war crimes and genocide, alongside relentless racist incitement.”
“We believe our human duty is to demand an immediate end to this war, a deal to release captives, and the start of rebuilding Gaza, and rebuilding our lives. We also call for long-term solutions based on peace, equality, security and freedom for everyone in this land.”
The appeal coincided with a global campaign launched Monday by Reporters Without Borders (RSF) and advocacy group Avaaz, with media outlets in 50 countries darkening front pages, displaying banners on news websites, and broadcasting solidarity messages to denounce Israel’s killing of journalists in Gaza.
Israel has killed over 63,500 Palestinians in Gaza since October 2023. The military campaign has devastated the enclave, which is facing famine.
Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.

“The overwhelming support for impeachment shows that the American public is not willing to accept King Trump,” said Alexandra Flores-Quilty, Free Speech for People campaign director.
The nonprofit Free Speech for People is leading a new nonpartisan campaign to drum up support for U.S. President Donald Trump’s removal—“Impeach Trump Again”—and reported Thursday that the effort has already garnered over 100,000 petition signatures.
The campaign is calling on Congress to launch an impeachment investigation into Trump and says that the signature numbers signal “widespread support” for a probe.
“The overwhelming support for impeachment shows that the American public is not willing to accept King Trump,” said Alexandra Flores-Quilty, Free Speech for People campaign director, in a Thursday statement. “We need bold leaders in Congress willing to stand up and hold Trump accountable for his abuses of power and initiate an impeachment inquiry.”
The petition, which was launched on Inauguration Day, calls on Congress to initiate an impeachment investigation into Trump based on potential violations of the U.S. Constitution’s emoluments clauses, his pardoning of insurrectionists who took part in the January 6, 2021 riot at the Capitol, and his “unlawful” and “corrupt” campaign practices.
Free Speech for People also launched a campaign to build public support for Trump’s impeachment on the day of his inauguration back in 2017.
The emoluments clauses require that Trump “fully divest himself from any businesses receiving profits, gains, or advantages, beyond his official compensation, from the federal government or the individual states,” according to the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. Trump’s business empire—which, as far as the public knows, he has not divested from—now includes not only real estate, but also a social media platform and a cryptocurrency token.
The campaign also lists other alleged impeachable offenses.
Trump was impeached twice by the House of Representatives during his first term, but in both cases he was acquitted by the Senate. Both chambers of Congress are now controlled by Trump’s Republican Party.
MPs show support for an immediate arms embargo outside parliamentPhoto: Jess Hurd
CROSS-PARTY MPs demanded action from the government today to put a halt to Israel’s onslaught in Gaza.
MPs debated petitions signed by over 100,000 people, calling for the immediate revocation of all arms export licences to Israel and 283,000 calling for the recognition of a Palestinian state, which were delivered before the general election
Since last October, at least 45,000 in Gaza have been murdered by Israel, in which Britain has been complicit through supplying arms.
In September, the Labour government eventually banned 30 out of 361 licences in a move labelled “tokenistic” by campaigners.
During the debate, Labour MP John McDonnell said: “I think history will judge us all for not doing enough to stop this.”
The former shadow chancellor said that while he was pleased that the petition is taking place “there’s a level of frustration now I don’t think we can contain any more.”
He asked: “Why isn’t democracy being exercised here to stop this?”
UK Foreign Minister David Lammy confirms that UK government and military are active participants in Israel’s genocides and that the F-35 parts that they suspended from supplying to Israel are instead simply diverted via the United States.
