RAMALLAH, Friday, August 18, 2023 (WAFA) – Deputy Head of the Fatah movement, Mahmoud Al-Aloul, warned today that any Israeli aggression the Palestinian prisoners in the Israeli occupation prisons risks grave consequences, demanding urgent international action to prevent an explosion of the situation as a result of Israel’s repression campaign against the prisoners.

“We are closely monitoring the conditions of the prisoners in Israeli occupation prisons, particularly the prisoners in the Naqab desert prison. They are subjected to systematic oppression, provocative inspection campaigns, and enforcement of the criminal policies of the Israeli government under the instructions of the extremist minister Itamar Ben-Gvir,” Al-Aloul said in a statement.

Al-Aloul added, “Harming the prisoners and attempting to isolate them will have serious consequences. We are continuously trying to prevent the Israeli occupation from abusing [our] prisoners within its prisons."

He urged all international human rights institutions “to urgently and immediately intervene to protect the prisoners from the occupier's repressive apparatus… The prisoners are a red line, and harming them is harming all the components of the Palestinian people.”
