A spokesman for the Islamic Resistance Movement "Hamas" Fawzi Barhoum stated the following:

Hamas holds the Zionist occupation fully responsible for the repercussions of the dangerous suffering of the Palestinian detainees on hunger strike protesting their administrative detention. We condemn all Israeli occupation prison administration's attempts and practices to discourage them from continuing their strike.

Detainees issue requires all the forces of our Palestinian people to assume their responsibilities and mobilize all their efforts to support them with all forms and tools of struggle to force the occupation to end their suffering.

We call on all human rights, international and humanitarian institutions to break their silence and take immediate effective actions to end the suffering of the detainees, especially the hunger strikers, and end all the occupations' crimes and violations against them.
