Palestinian prisoners to embark on open-ended hunger strike to demand suspension of Ben Gvir's decision against them

The Supreme Emergency Committee of the Prisoner National Movement announced Sunday that Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails will embark on an open-ended hunger strike starting September 14, to demand the suspension of the decision made by the racist Israeli cabinet minister, Ben-Gvir, to cut in half their family visits; from monthly to once every two months.

Palestinian Authority (PA) leaders have warned the Israeli government of the consequences of the "reckless decisions" of the extremist Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, against Palestinian prisoners.
Recently, Ben-Gvir directed the Israeli Prison Service to reduce family visitation for Palestinian detainees imprisoned in Israeli jails from once a month to once every two months.
The head of the Palestinian Prisoners' Club, Qaddoura Fares, confirmed that targeting prisoners will have severe consequences in the face of the occupation and on all fronts.
Fares said in press statements that the factions, forces, and institutions would be united inside and outside the Israeli detention centers to support the prisoners.
He added that the decision of the extremist Ben Gvir comes within the framework of racist retaliatory behavior, aiming to harm the prisoners and their families and violate their basic rights.
Fares stressed that the coming period will prove that Ben-Gvir poses a threat to regional security and stability and the security of Israel itself.
