Qadri Abu Bakr, head of the Palestinian Authority's commission for prisoners, said there is a state of tension and turmoil inside Israeli occupation prisons, after the Israeli Prisons Authority retracted its recent promises to prisoners and imposed new punishments.

Abu Bakr affirmed that a hunger strike in all Israeli prisons will be carried out on March 25.

In an interview for Sputnik, Abu Bakr pointed out that "Israel" is collectively punishing Palestinian prisoners after Operation Freedom Tunnel, noting that prisoners are living in tragic conditions in light of the silence of the international community.

Abu Bakr stated that the Israeli Prisons Authority had re-negotiated with the prisoners to avoid aggravating the situation in a way that would make it difficult to control, after the recent unrest.

On Friday, the Palestinian prisoners announced they will go on an open hunger strike before the beginning of the month of Ramadan.

In a letter to Al Mayadeen, the prisoners affirmed that the strike decision came "in response to the tyranny of the Israeli occupation.
