Hamas affirmed on Saturday that it will not allow the Israeli Prison Authority to single out any prisoner, regardless of his political affiliation. The organization stressed that it will stand firm against the occupation and will preserve the achievements of the prisoner movement.
In a statement, the Supreme Leadership of Hamas indicated that all prisoners stand united in the face of the Prison Authority's punitive measures, especially those imposed against Islamic Jihad movement prisoners.
It also emphasized that it will not ignore the occupation Prison Authority's constant delay and reluctance in implementing the agreed terms regarding the return of prison conditions to what they were before September 6.
For its part, the Leading Committee of the Prisoners of Islamic Jihad announced that the occupation Prison Authority's proposals do not meet the minimum demands of prisoners.
The committee confirmed its readiness to escalate its measures next week and that the battle is still ongoing, pointing out that "the ball is now in the occupation's court."
Palestinian prisoners in Israeli occupation prisons announced joining the open mass hunger strike, starting next Tuesday, in support of the Islamic Jihad movement prisoners.
In the same context, the head of the Palestinian Prisoners' Club, Qadura Fares, told Al Mayadeen that prisoners on strike are facing difficult health conditions, especially Miqdad al-Qawasmi, indicating that more prisoners will join the strike.
On Thursday, Hamas and Islamic Jihad warned the Israeli occupation government against "testing the patience of Palestinians."
Al-Quds Brigades had also announced a general mobilization among its fighters in response to the occupation's punitive measures against prisoners.
The prisoner movement handed the occupation's Prison Authority a list of the hunger strikers' names and their demands, which included ending all abusive measures, especially those imposed after the 6 Gilboa prisoners managed to liberate themselves.
