Israel’s far-right security minister posted video footage of himself taunting the most high-profile Palestinian prisoner while visiting him in jail this week, in an encounter that has prompted outrage from supporters.

A video widely circulated on Friday shows Israel's far-right national security minister berating a Palestinian leader face-to-face inside a prison, saying anyone who acts against the country will be “wiped out.

The Palestinian Authority has reacted angrily after footage was released of Israel’s far-right national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, appearing to threaten prominent Palestinian Marwan Barghouti during a visit to his prison cell.
