(AhlulBayt News Agency) - Hamas Justice Minister Muhammad Faraj al-Ghoul has called on Arab nations to rail against Israel over its misbehavior and immoral insults to Palestinian women who are kept in custody.

“Where is the Arab zeal that should be moved over what happens to Palestinian women? An Israeli soldier could dance and do anything freely since the only answer has been a deafening silence," the Palestinian Information Center quoted al-Ghoul as saying on Thursday.

According to the Hamas official, the clip was only a fraction of Israel's assaults against male and female prisoners.

In a clip circulated on YouTube, an Israeli soldier in sunglasses belly dances to Arabic music close to a bound Palestinian woman, identified as Ihsan al-Dababsi, 35, as she stood blindfolded against a wall.

Palestinian women prisoners are suffering under harsh conditions in unaccountable detention facilities. They have been and continue to be exposed to repeated interrogation even throughout nights.
