Thousands of Palestinians staged a protest on Friday in the occupied city of Hebron located in the southern West Bank. They protested in support of Palestinian hunger strikers. Between 6,000 and 12,000 people took part in the protest. Protests multiplied in the West Bank over the past few weeks in the West Bank as the number of Palestinian hunger strikers has greatly increased. Between 2,000 and 2,500 of Israel’s 4,600 Palestinian political prisoners are currently on hunger strike, according to a Palestinian organization. The Red Cross on Tuesday urged Israel to immediately hospitalize six Palestinian prisoners on hunger strike. Bilal Diab, 27 and Thaer Halahleh, 33 are the two longest hunger strikers. Both are administrative detainees in Israel, which means they are detained without trial or charges. “We urge the detaining authorities to transfer all six detainees without delay to a suitable hospital so that their condition can be continuously monitored,” said Juan Pedro Schaerer, head of the International Committee of the Red Cross’s delegation in the occupied territories.
