Israel explains that it will not negotiate with over 1,000 Palestinian detainees who started a mass hunger strike against the conditions of Israeli jails. Marwan Barghouti who is a Palestinian leader jailed during the second Palestinian uprising led the strike. The Palestinian prisoners are seeking better conditions such as more contact with relatives as well as an end to Israel’s practice of detentions without trials.
