Palestinian freedom fighters incarcerated in Israel said today that they will continue in their struggle steps against Israeli prison repressive measures despite an Israeli government decision to postpone discussion on measures adopted by racist cabinet minister Itamar Gen Gvir targeting the prisoners.

As a result, the committee representing the prisoners decided to take a number of steps to counter the Israeli repressive measures, including starting on Thursday an open hunger strike in all the prisons, a step Israel fears could flare up trouble in all the occupied territories considering the sensitivity of the prisoners’ issue among the Palestinian people.
With the approach of the Jewish holidays that start with the Jewish New Year next week, the Israeli government, which was not happy with Ben Gvir’s provocative steps against the prisoners, decided not to discuss these steps until after the Jewish holidays, which end in mid-October, to make sure violence will not erupt as a result during the holidays.
“The Israeli government's postponing or freezing discussion of the decision to reduce visits of the families of prisoners to suit the enemy's plans will not fool us or our people, and our struggle inside and outside the prisons will continue until we achieve our goals and fend off the enemy away from us and our holy places,” said the prisoners’ committee in a statement.
