Israel uses the prisoner file not only for political purposes, but also for arrests in order to achieve a general deterrence against Palestinian citizens. Israel is on the verge of a card of collective punishment against the Palestinian people, according to experts. It is led by the current government, led by Ben Ghiat, who wants to fill the prisons with Palestinian detainees.
