Representatives of Palestinian prisoners have reportedly reached a tentative agreement with Israel that could end a massive hunger strike by some 2,000 people behind bars. Al Jazeera reports a draft deal mediated in Egypt would see Israel change its administrative detention policies to no longer hold Palestinian prisoners without charge. The deal will reportedly be presented to the prisoners today for a vote. Over the weekend, Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza continued to hold demonstrations of support for the prisoners. On Sunday, Israeli activist Jonathan Pollack and an unidentified Palestinian protester rallied near an Israeli settlement in the occupied West Bank.

Jonathan Pollack: “We’re here today to support the prisoners in their hunger strike and to say that it cannot be that life in settlements, in these police stations that are right behind us, will continue as usual while thousands of Palestinian prisoners are striking, are hunger-striking, are dying of hunger for their most basic rights.”

Protester: “Two thousand Palestinian prisoners are on hunger strike for 30 days. Where is the media? When [Israeli soldier] Gilad Shalit was kidnapped, all the world stood by him. We are protesting for prisoners.”
