Arab League calls for UN probe into rights violations at Israeli jails

‘The Arab League has urged the UN to launch a probe into the violation of Palestinian prisoners’ rights in Israeli jails as thousands of inmates are on an open-ended hunger strike.
In a resolution approved on Thursday, the 22-member pan-Arab body said it “invites the United Nations and its relevant specialized agencies to send an international commission of inquiry to Israeli prisons.”

The resolution further called on “relevant international institutions and bodies” to “intervene immediately and urgently to compel” Israel to respect international humanitarian law.’
