GAZA, (PIC)-- Palestinian premier Ismail Haneyya urged the hunger strikers in Israeli jails to maintain their united position and steadfastness and stand up against any attempt to disturb their unity.
Haneyya made his remarks on Tuesday in a news conference held in the tent that was set up in the Unknown Soldier Square in Gaza city to champion the cause of hunger strikers in Israeli jails.
He expressed his belief that the hunger strike battle as he described reflected positively on the unity of the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank.
The premier also pledged to remain supportive for their demands, especially their quest for freedom.
The premier also noted that a delegation from his cabinet will leave for Cairo on Saturday to meet with secretary-general of the Arab League, Nabil Al-Arabi, to follow up the resolutions that were issued last Sunday in support of the Palestinian prisoners.
In a related context, Hamas prisoner Mahmoud Issa, who has spent the longest prison term in solitary confinement, described in a leaked letter some of the miserable incarceration conditions of Palestinian prisoners isolated in Israeli jails.
The letter was fully published on Wednesday in Arabic by the Palestinian information center (PIC) on its website.
Prisoner Issa talked about how the Israeli jailers deprive Palestinian detainees of their most basic rights including reading, education, food, air, talking and sleep.
He stressed that the hunger strikers in solitary confinement vowed not to surrender until all their demands are fulfilled or they become martyrs.
