The hunger strike of the security prisoners was canceled:
round-the-clock contacts between the prison service and the security prisoners in the prisons in Israel prevented an escalation in the protest measures announced by the Supreme Emergency Committee of the Palestinian Prisoners' Movement.
As I recall, about 1,200 prisoners threatened to start a hunger strike this evening in protest of the intention to renew what they called "punitive measures" by the prison service towards some of the prisoners.
During the day, the prisoners negotiated with the prison service in an attempt to reach an understanding.

The talks between the parties were successful, and the prisoners' leadership announced their decision to stop the planned hunger strike.
They claimed that "the decision came after the prison management retracted the decision to take measures against the prisoners, including transferring prisoners sentenced to life imprisonment from one prison to another."
The Shin Bet, the police and the Shin Bet were prepared for the strike following the threat of the prisoners.
The prisoners of the Islamic Jihad demanded that the conditions be returned to them before the escape of the terrorists from Gilboa prison, which in September will mark the anniversary of the event.

At the Palestinian prisoner's club, approximately 1,000 prisoners in Israeli prisons threatened to go on hunger strike tomorrow.
It was reported that the prisoners belong to different organizations and that "the prison service is still entrenched in their position and does not respond to the demands of the prisoners."
The head of the Authority for Prisoners' Affairs in Ramallah, Kadri Abu Bakr, called on the Palestinian public and its institutions to "unite around our prisoners and detainees in their heroic system, which will enter the phase of a real challenge tomorrow with the start of a hunger strike."
The number of Islamic Jihad prisoners is about 400.
After the escape, they were divided into different cells in different prisons, with only two prisoners in each cell compared to six that had been there before.
The Islamic Jihad was considered in prison to be a movement that used to negotiate with their superiors, they had status with legitimate spokespeople, etc. and this was completely stopped.
