How Israel's right erodes democratic oversight to reshape the Israeli ...
The 'People's Army' model is meant to serve the citizens of Israel – by the people, for the people. But this basic principle is being steadily worn down ever since October 2023Yagil LevyApril 13, 2026The failures in Iran and Lebanon raise a vital question: Who does the IDF answer to? Is it serving the wider Israeli interest or only one political sector? The answer is that the army is supposed to be under the control of civilians, but that this basic principle is in the advanced stages of erosion ever since October 2023. This is apparent in three domains in which the country's right wing is attempting to reshape Israel's military.

"Another genocide behind walls": Sexual violence in Israeli prisons and ...
Executive summary Since 7 October 2023, the Israeli detention system has undergone a significant shift in its operational approach, moving beyond its declared security role to become an official structure that institutionalises systematic torture and widespread destruction of Palestinians. The political discourse that dehumanised Palestinians, especially those in the Gaza Strip, by describing them as “Amalek[1]” and “human animals,” has shaped practices and rules of operation within Israeli detention centres and prisons, which have been transformed into spaces isolated from oversight, akin to legal and physical ‘black holes,’ foremost among them the Sde Teiman detention camp. However, this transformation did not emerge from nothing; rather, it was based on a long history of severe and unaccountable violence against Palestinians and an institutional structure of oppression and subjugation that deprives them of their rights and systematically reclassifies Palestinians as a “security threat” to justify their permanent exclusion from legal protection. The 7th of October 2023 marked a moment of “great security breakdown” that gave Israeli security forces a “blank cheque” to bypass previous restrictions and remove the remaining formal legal protections for Palestinian prisoners and detainees, particularly those from the Gaza Strip. This made detention centres areas of total impunity, intentionally operating outside the law and avoiding oversight or accountability. Almost all prisoners and detainees were cut off from visits, legal aid, and international oversight. The International Committee of the Red Cross was also prevented from accessing them. Laws like the “Unlawful Combatants Law” and others were used to remove procedural protections. Combined with enforced disappearances, this created a system that enabled ongoing torture, sexual violence, and other abuses against Palestinians. Detention centres became zones of immunity and impunity, where crimes happened without independent scrutiny or meaningful accountability. This report details widespread patterns of sexual violence against detainees in the Gaza Strip, serving as a tool to break both individual and collective will and inflict serious physical and psychological harm. The documented practices involved direct sexual assault, assaults with instruments, and torture focused on the genitals. They also included organised displays like filming and the collective presence of security personnel during the as...
