Islamic Jihad: Occupation Cannot Undermine Prisoner's Determination

• 

Leader of the Islamic Jihad Movement Mohammad Shallah confirmed that his movement is following the issue of prisoner's strike in the occupation prisons, stressing that his movement's confidence is great.

Shallah explained that the occupation cannot undermine the determination of the prisoners, noting that the strike will include members of other movements in the coming days.

The top Palestinian figure went on to say that the people of Gaza and the West Bank are strongly backing the prisoners, particularly following Secretary-General Ziyad Al-Nakhalah's statements.

Discussions took place with Hamas and other factions on many issues surrounding the prisoners, according to Shallah.

Shehab: Where is the free world when prisoners cry out? 

The leader of the Islamic Jihad movement in Palestine, Daoud Shehab, stressed that supporting the prisoners and working to liberate them "are among our utmost priorities."

During a speech before the prisoners' committee for the national and Islamic factions and forces, Shehab articulated that supporting prisoners is the duty of "every Muslim and free person."

Shehab asked, "Where is the free world's conscience when the prisoners cry out?"

Criticizing international human rights advocates, he asserted that the eyes of those who claim they are protecting human rights are closed, and their ears are deafened to the tribulations of prisoners.

According to Shehab, the prisoners are armed with "patience, unity, and trust in God above all else," alluding to Mahmoud Al-Arida, the leader of the escape from the Gilboa Prison.

Earlier, the Palestinian Prisoners Club confirmed that the prisoners' battle in the Israeli prisons is escalating.
