RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- Secretary general of the popular front for the liberation of Palestin (PFLP) Ahmed Saadat refused an Israeli request to negotiate with him regarding the hunger strike.
Saadat told a lawyer from Al-Dameer association that a committee from Shabas, the Israeli prison authority, visited him last Tuesday in order to discuss the issue of the collective hunger strike in Israeli jails.
Saadat told the committee members that he would not accept anything less than the demands set by the captive movement and the committee representing the hunger strikers.
The PFLP official also told them that he was not the party that is entitled to talk about this issue, reiterating his commitment to the decisions taken by the hunger strike committee.
The official also demanded the Palestinian authority to shoulder its resposibility in supporting the captive movement.
Meanwhile, according to PIC, "A meeting took place Monday between Israeli officials from Shabas and many Fatah officials in order to discuss the formation of a committee aimed at breaking the hunger strike of Fatah prisoners'

A senior Fatah official, who is a prisoner in Ofer jail, said in a leaked letter sent to the Palestinian information center (PIC) that Israeli prison officials embarked in the morning on arranging for their meeting with Fatah leaders in prison.
The prisoner affirmed that those leaders would delegate one of them to coordinate with the Israeli prison authority on the steps to be taken to convince or force Fatah prisoners to break their hunger strike.
Informed sources from inside Israeli jails reported that 65 Fatah prisoners ended their hunger strike on Sunday, most notably, prisoner Naser Abu Hamid after they were pressured by the leadership of Fatah faction.
The Fatah leadership threatened those prisoners to freeze their membership and their financial rights for two years if they did not end their hunger strike immediately."

I [Alex] wonder if Haneya is expecting Erdugan to call NATO for an urgent meeting to discuss the critical situation of Palestinian prisoners and hunger-strikers in Israeli jails, or for a meeting for the "friends of Palestine"

"Haneyya government was closely following up the issue of the hunger strikers and was having contacts with the Arab League, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and sisterly and friendly countries to internationalize the issue of those prisoners and to establish an international pressure lobby championing their demands."
