The Supreme Court of Israel ruled on a petition claiming the state failed to comply with an earlier judgment requiring adequate food for security prisoners. The case was brought by civil rights organizations that argued prison authorities had not met the standards set in a September 2025 decision mandating food that meets basic living requirements.

In response, state officials detailed measures taken to improve conditions, including quarterly weight checks, monitoring of underweight inmates, updated menus every three months, and clearer food distribution procedures. They also introduced guidelines allowing prison staff to provide additional food when deemed necessary.

The court emphasized that the obligation to provide sufficient food applies to all security prisoners and requires both proper planning and actual access to meals and supplements. However, it found insufficient evidence of a systemic violation and said individual complaints should be addressed through separate petitions supported by concrete data.

The ruling concluded that the state must ensure ongoing and effective implementation of its commitments. Following the decision, a right wing advocacy group leader criticized the judgment, arguing it could harm public security by improving prison conditions for terrorists.
