Moazaz Abayat, a Palestinian released after nine months in Israeli prison, has accused authorities of severe physical and mental abuse, claiming he lost nearly half his body weight and suffered multiple injuries while detained without charge. Abayat's case highlights the broader context of increasing Palestinian incarceration following Hamas' October 7 attack on Israel, with many held under administrative detention, according to human rights groups. A recent survey reveals that an overwhelming majority of both Israeli Jews (85%) and Palestinians (83%) believe their victimization is the worst compared to others, reflecting deep-seated fears and distrust between the two communities. These sentiments are mirrored in another poll indicating high levels of mutual suspicion, with significant portions of each side believing the other harbors genocidal intentions. As Israel approaches the anniversary of the October 7 tragedy, discussions around national trauma and victimhood continue to dominate public discourse. The situation in the West Bank remains dire, exacerbated by extremist political forces, according to analysts.
