Erdan nixes release of hunger striker
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePublic Security Minister Gilad Erdan says Israel won’t free Palestinian hunger striker Mohammed Allaan, who has been fasting for two months in protest of his detention.
“I forcefully oppose all the proposals for freeing the terrorist,” Erdan says of Allaan, who Israel maintains is a member of the Islamic Jihad terror group. His release would be “a prize for his hunger strike, and will likely cause mass hunger strikes.”
