Bill to ban Red Cross visits to Palestinian prisoners fails

A bill to ban Red Cross visits to Palestinian prisoners failed in the Israeli parliament with a 41-36 vote. Ultra-Orthodox coalition parties boycotted the vote over unrelated political disputes, preventing the proposal from advancing. The bill is now shelved until after October elections due to Knesset rules.
