Former hunger-striker Hana Shalabi, who arrived in Gaza on Sunday, was the latest prisoner to be deported by the Zionist entity under the terms of her release. Shalabi is from Burqin village in the northern West Bank.
Haniyeh visited her on Monday in Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. He told reporters her deportation was a war crime and a violation of human rights and international law, Maan’s report said.
He praised 29-year-old Shalabi, who he said had "broken the will of her warden."
His Hamas-led government will bear all responsibility for her, he added.
Haniyeh urged Egypt to pressure the Israeli enemy to stop targeting released prisoners.
The Gaza premier insisted that Israel should respect the terms of its agreement with Shalabi. According to the deal, Shalabi will be allowed to return home after three years.
Human rights groups have slammed the terms of Shalabi's deal. The International Committee of the Red Cross urged Israel "to comply with international humanitarian law, which prohibits Israel, whatever its motives, from forcibly transferring Palestinians to another territory."
