Ramallah, Rabi'II 24, 1434, Mar 6, 2013, SPA - The State of Palestine's Cabinet renewed calls on the international community to intervene and compel Israel to immediately release hunger striking prisoners, especially Samer Al-Issawi and Ayman Sharawneh, said a Cabinet press release on Tuesday. During its weekly meeting, chaired by Prime Minister Salam Fayyad, the Cabinet held Israel responsible for the lives of striking prisoners and considered the death of Arafat Jaradat in Israeli jails compelling for international community and human rights organizations to carry out their responsibilities, according to a report of the State of Palestine News Agency "WAFA." The press release said that the international community must “intervene to compel Israel to abide by international law and release the prisoners, especially the ill, veteran prisoners, children and the fifteen members of the Legislative Council, as well as end the illegal practice of administrative detention.” It welcomed Denmark’s calls on Israel to abide by the provisions of international law concerning the prisoners' issue, and stressed the need for the international community to adopt this position and take practical and effective measure to ensure Israeli compliance. --MORE 13:28 LOCAL TIME 10:28 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/1084890
