Israeli Media: Hisham Abu Hawash signs an agreement to end his hunger strike

Israeli media reported on Tuesday that after threats of escalation from Gaza, "Israel" agreed not to extend its administrative detention of Palestinian prisoner Hisham Abu Hawash in exchange for his ending his hunger strike.

"Israel's" Kan television channel reported that an agreement was reached today to end Abu Hawash's hunger strike, whereby "Israel" vowed not to extend his administrative detention, which is expected to end in a month and a half, in exchange for his ending his hunger strike.

Israeli media commented on the statement made by Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) leader Ziad Al-Nakhala, who threatened military retaliation against "Israel" saying: We are witnessing the results this evening. The end of the hunger strike may lead to calm on the ground.

They also pointed out that there was a confrontation between the prisoner's family and far-right Knesset member Itamar ben Gvir at Assaf Harofeh Hospital, with Channel 12's police affairs expert commenting that a confrontation took place after the Knesset member learned of the deal that was signed.

The Israeli commentator noted that the prisoner signed the agreement in exchange for his freedom on February 26.

Channel 7's website reported that Itamar ben Gvir was in disbelief that "Israel's" general security apparatus and the Israeli government were surrendering and backing down before the prisoners of Hamas and the Islamic Jihad, noting that they are motivating these organizations that humiliate "Israel" on the ground.

Israeli media outlets considered that Abu Hawash's release is considered a new victory for Palestinian organizations following threats to take military action, adding that baklava is being distributed in Jenin in celebration.
