The Israeli prison authorities continue to blackmail hunger striking detainee Rizq al-Rajoub in an attempt to dampen his spirits and force him to accept a ban order, a human rights center has warned.
Spokesman for the Palestine Prisoners Center for Studies Reyad al-Ashqar held the Israeli occupation authorities responsible for the life and safety of prisoner al-Rajoub, whose health status has taken a turn for the worse in Israeli jail.
According to al-Ashqar, al-Rajoub has refused to meet doctors and undergo medical check-ups in protest at the increasing blackmailing pursued by the Israeli prison authorities.
He added that al-Rajoub has been made to endure dire detention conditions and that the Israeli prison authorities have locked him up in an isolated cell to force him to end his hunger strike.
Al-Rajoub has been diagnosed with chronic diseases and severe pains in his stomach, colon, gallbladder. Prior to his detention, he had undergone several surgeries.
Al-Ashqar said the medical negligence pursued by the Israeli jailers makes part of preplanned torture tactics aiming to blackmail al-Rajoub into accepting an Israeli decision to deport him overseas.
Prisoner al-Rajoub had been locked up for a total of 23 years in Israeli jails, including 10 years in administrative detention, with neither charge nor trial.

NGOs and representatives of national factions in the southern occupied West Bank province of al-Khalil rallied on Saturday in solidarity with the hunger-striking Palestinian detainee Rizq al-Rajoub.
Activists called for immediately releasing prisoner Rajoub, who has been on an open-ended hunger strike for 14 days running in an Israeli jail.
Minister of Prisoners’ and Ex-Prisoners’ Affairs, Issa Qaraqe, hailed al-Rajoub’s strong determination and iron will in the face of the oppressive policies pursued by the Israeli occupation.
Qaraqe called for stepping up solidarity events to urge the Israeli prison authorities to unshackle al-Rajoub and halt his administrative detention, issued with neither charge nor trial.
The minister sounded the alarm over the dire conditions of captivity and medical neglect al-Rajoub has been made to endure as a pressure tactic to force him to succumb to an Israeli order to leave his mother country.
“Al-Rajoub has been struggling against an entity that perpetrates crimes and legitimizes the murder of Palestinians,” said Qaraqe, urging the Red Cross to take a firm response and save al-Rajoub before it is too late.
Al-Rajoub’s brother Jadullah, also the campaign’s spokesman, spoke out against the medical negligence the sick detainee has been subjected to in an isolated cell.
Director of the Palestinian Prisoners Society in al-Khalil, Amjad al-Najar, warned of an underway conspiracy by the occupation authorities to take away al-Rajoub’s life.
Speaking on behalf of the hunger striker’s family, ex-prisoner Ziad al-Rajoub, also a Fatah leader, lauded the detainee’s anti-occupation activism, saying he has been an icon of perseverance and self-abnegation despite the 23 years he has spent in Israeli lock-ups.
Dura Mayor, Nooman Amr, also called for keeping up solidarity events until hunger-striking al-Rajoub is released from Israeli jails.
The Israeli occupation forces arrested al-Rajoub on November 27, 2017 and seized a car of his own, four months after they had seized another two of his cars.

Prisoner Kareem Younis, a 60-year-old citizen from Ara village in Haifa, has spent 36 years of steadfastness in detention, which makes him the longest-serving Palestinian captive in Israeli jails.
He was arrested on January 6, 1983 and sentenced to life imprisonment, which was later made 40 years. He was charged then with murdering an Israeli soldier.
He went on hunger strike several times and has been exposed to suppressive measures, violations and inter-prison transfers more than any other prisoner.
Israel excluded him from all prison swap deals that were brokered with the Palestinians and also from the initiatives that occurred as part of the peace talks with the Palestinian Authority.
Detainee Younis managed to pursue his higher education and to supervise prisoners' studies inside jail. Moreover, he authored two books on politics and the Israeli-Palestinian struggle.

Director of the Palestinian Prisoners Center for Studies, Rafat Hamdouna, on Saturday called for confronting Israel's death penalty bill, which was recently approved in the first reading, by working on three different levels.
Hamdouna said in a press statement that legal efforts are needed to protect the Palestinian prisoners' right of self-defense and self-determination, which are supported by the UN General Assembly, and refute the Israeli narrative portraying them as terrorists and criminals.
Hamdouna stressed that it is necessary to cooperate with international groups, human rights organizations, and parliaments to pressure Israel to stop the passage of the bill in its second and third readings.
He added that there is also a need for media efforts to internationalize the prisoners issue, spread their stories in multiple languages and debunk the lies of the Israeli media.
The Palestinian researcher called for popular campaigns and activities to be launched all over the world on the Palestinian, Arab and international levels to expose the Israeli violations committed against the Palestinian people in general and the prisoners in particular.

Nour Tamimi Indicted for Slapping Israeli Soldier
Jan 2, 2018 @ 04:56
An Israeli court indicted, on Sunday, 21-year-old Palestinian girl Nour Tamimi, who was seen slapping a heavily armed Israeli soldier, along with her cousin, Ahed Tamimi, two weeks ago.
The court charged Tamimi with aggravated assault of an Israeli soldier and obstructing a soldier from carrying out his duty.
A short video showed the young Tamimi girls slapping an Israeli soldier in Nabi Saleh, after shooting their cousin in the head.
Both girls were abducted by Israeli forces from their houses at night, according to Days of Palestine, just hours after slapping the Israeli soldier.
A prominent Israeli journalist called for raping Ahed Tamimi, while Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman called for her to spend all of her life in prison.
Born in Moldova, Avigdor Lieberman is one of the only foreign ministers in the world who does not live in territory officially recognized as his own country. Originally under suspicion over charges of money-laundering and bribery, Lieberman was formally indicted in December of 2012, on lesser charges of fraud and breach of trust.
His party was recently the focus of a corruption probe within the Israeli political spectrum. More recently, Lieberman’s life was threatened with an assassination attempt.
The court denied an appeal by the prosecution, demanding keeping Nour held without bail, and ordered her immediate release.
