GAZA, (PIC)-- Palestinian premier Ismail Haneyya has called for the resumption of resistance attacks against Israeli occupation in the West Bank to bridle its growing atrocities against the Palestinian people.
He said in a statement at a special session for the Palestinian legislative council held at the premises of the ministry of prisoners that resistance should prioritize the issue of Palestinian prisoners.
Haneyya also advocated Palestinian unity on national basis away from foreign dictates, adding that the Arabs should assist the Palestinians through ending the American pressures on the Palestinian people.
The premier asked the Arabs and Muslims to assume their responsibility in supporting Palestinian prisoners and their relatives through the establishment of a fund to support them.
Addressing the same session allocated for prisoners, Dr. Ahmed Bahar, the first deputy PLC speaker, urged all Palestinian forces and factions to unite in support of the prisoners' issue.
He asked Arab and Islamic parliaments to hold emergency sessions to discuss the issue of Palestinian prisoners and means of liberating them.
Bahar also asked the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Conference to table the issue of prisoners at international platforms and to demand the prosecution of Israeli war criminals.

GAZA, (PIC)-- Palestinian minister of prisoners in Gaza and head of the higher national committee in support of prisoners Mohammed Al-Ghoul has renewed his call on Palestinian resistance factions to capture more Israeli soldiers to trade them for Palestinian prisoners.
Ghoul, addressing the sit-in organized in solidarity with prisoners in front of the Red Cross offices in Gaza on Saturday, said that the freedom of prisoners was inevitable.
Tens of relatives of those prisoners had joined the sit-in and went on hunger strike in solidarity with the prisoners.
Saber Abu Karsh, the director of Wa'ed society for prisoners, spoke at the rally asserting importance of uniting prisoners in their strike and protest steps against Israeli repression.
Abu Obaida, the spokesman of the Qassam Brigades the armed wing of Hamas, said that Hamas would continue seeking to release all Palestinian prisoners, describing it as a stable strategy.
He said in a statement on Qassam website on Saturday that his armed wing would not stop working toward that end.
Hamas MPs in the West Bank, meanwhile, expressed outrage at the martyrdom of a Palestinian captive in Israeli occupation jails while in solitary confinement.
They said on Saturday that the death of Ra'ed Abu Hammad in Eichel prison and before him about 200 others in occupation jails was not enough to make the world act as it did to demand the release of one Israeli soldier who was captured from his army tank.
