Sami Abu Diyak
The Palestinian Prisoner Center for Studies has affirmed that 23 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails suffer from different types of cancer and medical neglect.
According to the Center, many of these prisoners have the most serious cases of cancer and do not receive proper medical treatment, such as prisoner Sami Abu Diyak, 36 from Jenin and serving a life sentence, who suffers from intestinal cancer and his health condition is getting worse.
The health condition of Abu Diyak reached a life-threatening stage and he could die any moment after doctors in the Israeli infirmary of the Ramla jail stopped providing him with chemotherapy at the pretext that his body was no longer responding to treatment and that his condition became hopeless, spokesman for the Center Riyadh al-Ashqar warned.
Ashqar held the Israeli prison service fully responsible for the deterioration of Abu Diyak’s health after he underwent a failed surgical operation that led to complications in his intestines.
There are other prisoners who suffer from serious cancer conditions and other related health complication like prisoner Yasser Rabai’ah, who suffers from intestinal cancer, and prisoner Bassam as-Sayeh, who suffers from blood and bone cancer.
Prisoner Mutasem Raddad also suffers from cancer and recently started to have heart problems, bowel inflammation, and anemia.
The Center appealed to international medical institutions, the World Health Organization and Doctors Without Borders to necessarily visit those prisoners and work on forming committees to investigate the reasons that lead to an increase in the number of prisoners who suffer from cancer in Israeli jails.

Israeli military courts have imposed fines topping $16m, on West Bank Palestinians, from 2015 to 2017, “even though the great majority of the offenses do not involve the harming of people or property.”
According to a report by Haaretz, “the money is deposited in the Israeli Civil Administration’s accounts in the West Bank and is managed by an officer also subordinate to Israeli finance ministry.”
The report cites examples of fines, such as the December 2018 conviction of a Beit Ummar resident, for throwing a stone at Israeli occupation forces “from an unknown distance.”
Although “the stone did not hit anyone and caused no damage,” he was jailed for six months and fined 2,000 shekels ($550).
In October 2018, a military judge convicted a 45-year-old man of what the court considered a “hostile terrorist offense” – namely, “he went on a family picnic holding a hunting rifle with one bullet in it.”
In a plea deal, “he was sentenced to two months in prison and fined 3,000 shekels ($800).”
Haaretz article notes how “experience shows that a Palestinian cannot be released from detention or prison without paying the fine imposed on him, regardless of the offense’s severity.”
“The fines imposed on Palestinians in the military courts are extremely exaggerated, both in their scope compared with the size of the population and its economic ability,” Combatants for Peace told Haaretz.
According to Days of Palestine, a member of the group also told the paper that in the Jordan Valley region of the West Bank, fines to release tractors that Israeli occupation authorities “had confiscated from farmers [forbidding them to cultivate their land] sometimes reached 4,000 shekels ($1,100).”

Al-Aqsa Mosque's guards protested the break-in and closed the doors of the Dome of the Rock shrine as an Israeli police officer attempted to defile the Islamic shrine while wearing a kippah (Talmudic cap).
Eyewitnesses said that hundreds of Palestinians in the Old City, including Islamic Awqaf officials, rushed to al-Aqsa Mosque to break the siege imposed by the Israeli police on the worshipers who were inside.
Palestinian Minister of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs Yousef Edeis condemned the Israeli siege and warned of the stepped up conspiracies and attacks targeting Jerusalem in general and al-Aqsa Mosque in particular.
The Islamic Christin Committee to Support Jerusalem and Holy sites said in a statement that besieging the Dome of the Rock, preventing Palestinian worshipers from praying, and assaulting them is another crime added to Israel's record of crimes against al-Aqsa Mosque.
Secretary-general of the committee Hanna Issa denounced the Israeli attack which falls in line with "Israel's war on all that is not Jewish in Jerusalem".
