Ofer Cassif, a left-wing member of the Israeli parliament, has written to the attorney general following reports that Palestinian bodies released by Israel as part of the ceasefire deal showed signs of abuse and torture, calling on authorities to investigate the allegations. In the letter, Cassif said it appeared that Israel was following a “vindictive policy” and had a duty to investigate the reports, according to its obligations under international law, and called for the Red Cross to oversee it. Israel has returned 150 bodies, a number of which Palestinian forensic experts and medics say had marks on them that suggested they had been abused in Israeli detention.
