On Monday evening, the Israeli occupation forces prevented Al Mayadeen TV's correspondent and all journalists from visiting the prisoner Hisham Abu Hawash.

On Tuesday, a general strike took place in the town of Dura, in the south of the occupied West Bank, in solidarity with Abu Hawash, who has completed 141 consecutive days of hunger strike. Shops and civil and official institutions closed their doors in solidarity with Abu Hawash.

The Palestinian Prisoners Media Office announced on Tuesday that Palestinian prisoner Hisham Abu Hawash will continue his hunger strike for the 141st consecutive day, despite his dangerously critical health condition.

For its part, the Islamic Radio and TV Union called on its member institutions around the world and the Arab and international media to shed light on the suffering of the hunger striker.

In a press statement, the Union stressed the importance of intensifying coverage of the issues of prisoners inside Israeli prisons, "especially administrative detainees and hunger strikers, at the forefront of which is Hisham Abu Hawash." 

The Union clarified that the case of Abu Hawash requires focused media coverage to shed light on his suffering and the suffering of all Palestinian prisoners inside Israeli occupation prisons.

On its account, the Global Campaign to Return to Palestine called on international activists to support the hunger striker and stand in solidarity with him by organizing sit-ins in front of the headquarters of the International Red Cross and other human rights organizations, or by sending messages to influential or relevant figures in international institutions.

Palestinian Resistance factions: The occupation bears full responsibility for any harm that befalls Abu Hawash

On Tuesday, Palestinian Resistance factions held the Israeli occupation fully responsible for any harm that may befall Hisham Abu Hawash, stressing that it will bear the consequences.

In a statement, the factions expressed that endangering the life of prisoner Hisham Abu Hawash will turn the tables and the resistance "will remain the shield and sword that defend our prisoners."

The factions called on the Palestinian people in the occupied territories to continue their marches in solidarity with the prisoner and escalate confrontations with the Zionist occupation at all points of contact in the occupied West Bank. 

The statement also urged the Palestinian Authority to carry out its duty toward Abu Hawash and "stop the security coordination that limits the Resistance in the West Bank," stressing that the factions will be holding ongoing meetings to follow up on the developments of Abu Hawash's case.

The factions urged for dedicating Friday to popular marches that express anger and solidarity across the country.

The Head of the Studies and Documentation Department at the Prisoners’ Affairs Authority, Abdel Nasser Farwana, confirmed that "Israel is deliberately prolonging the prisoner's strike" and pursuing negligence and recklessness insistently not responding to the striking prisoner’s demand."

Farwana stressed that the goal of the Israelis is to spread frustration in an attempt to eliminate any hunger strike, which has become a symbol of challenging administrative detention in the last decade.
