Netanyahu’s advisor on photos of stripped Palestinians: “It’s the Middle East, it’s warmer here“
Mark Regev, senior advisor to the Israeli Prime Minister and former Israeli ambassador to the UK, commented in an interview with Sky News on stripping Palestinian detainees in Gaza. He said: “It’s the Middle East and it’s warmer here. And especially during the day when it’s sunny, to be asked to take off your shirt. It might not be pleasant, but it’s not the end of the world.”
When pressed with the fact that this act constitutes a breach of the Geneva Convention, Regev replied, “I’m not familiar with that level of international law, as to whether it’s a breach or not. I’ll have to check with my legal department.”
