Hamas Movement said on Friday that the Palestinian prisoner Maher Al-Akhras “imposed his will on the arrogant occupier”.
Akhras suspended his open hunger strike on day 103 following an agreement with the Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) to release him on November 26 in a victory over the jailer.
Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem said in a statement “Akhras provided the clearest example of the Palestinian’s ability to impose his will on the arrogant occupier and the occupier’s inability to defeat him even under conditions of arrest and imprisonment.”
“This great case of struggle presented by Akhras is an extension of the continuous struggle that our people are waging to wrest their rights to freedom and return” he added.
Qassem pointed out that Akhras’s hunger strike is new evidence of the criminality of the Zionist occupier and its violation of all international laws and norms especially in what is known as administrative detention.
Akhras 49 years from Silat Al-Dhahr town in Jenin northern West Bank has started his hunger strike since the first day of his arrest on July 27 2020 protesting his administrative detention.
