Israeli media admits that Palestinian prisoners got what they wanted, making progress at the expense of the Israeli prison administration.

The Palestinian prisoners have won and had their demands fulfilled after 2,000 prisoners prepared to go on hunger strike throughout Ramadan to pry out of the Israeli occupation prison administration's hands, Israeli media said Thursday.

The Palestinian captive movement has achieved a new victory through its hunger strike, as it was able to have its demands fulfilled after strenuous negotiations with the Israeli occupation prison administration, an Al Mayadeen correspondent reported Wednesday.

"The open hunger strike was suspended, and the situation is returning back to normal in Israeli prisons, as it was before the measures taken by Israeli Police Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir," our correspondent added.

The Israeli occupation government responded to all of the prisoners' demands without undergoing a hunger strike, and the prisoners had all of their demands fulfilled, the Captive Movement underlined.

The Prisoners' Information Office stated that the prison administration will receive the names of 2,000 prisoners who would go on an open hunger strike that was anticipated to commence in conjunction with the start of Ramadan amid calls for support and solidarity with the prisoners in their battle against the occupation's prison administration.

It was reported that the occupation forces isolated the Emergency Committee leaders who said they were going on strike, confirming that the hunger-striking prisoner Ammar Mardi, a representative of the Fatah movement, and the hunger-striking prisoner, Salama Al-Qatawi, a representative of the Hamas movement, were arbitrarily transferred to an unknown destination.

It was also reported that the occupation transferred the dean of the prisoners, Muhammad Al-Tus, who began his strike with the Captive Movement leaders, to an "unknown destination," noting that "the campaign of arbitrary transfers that affected the strike leaders is a desperate step and will not disturb the strike program."

Commenting on the development, Israeli KAN broadcaster's Palestinian affairs correspondent, Elior Levy, underlined that the prison administration worked on "thwarting the hunger strike, and it was keen to preserve the status quo regarding the issue of Palestinian security prisoners."

Levy wondered what the "status quo" meant, saying: "Does the status quo mean before Ben-Gvir or after Ben Gvir? It seems that it is before Ben-Gvir."

Prisoners won against prisons administration

It seems clear that the issue of the showering restrictions imposed by the administration, as well as the bread and bakeries crisis in the prisons, were resolved, and escalation was averted, the Israeli journalist clarified.

The prisoners got what they wanted, Levy noted, highlighting that the prisons administration was using broad terms to address an obscure situation. "The Palestinian prisoners have gone back to the situation that prevailed before Ben-Gvir's arrival."

Israeli media touched on the reasons that led to the Palestinian prisoners' victory against the Israeli occupation, with some suggesting that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took far-right Police Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir off the negotiation table with the Palestinian prisoners.

Israeli media said the negotiations between "Tel Aviv" and the Palestinian prisoners were carried out by Shin Bet and "National Security Council" representatives chaired by Israeli "National Security Adviser" Tzachi Hanegbi.
