JERUSALEM: Four out of five Jordanian prisoners held in Israel have ended a three-month hunger strike against prison conditions, Israeli officials said yesterday. “Four Jordanian prisoners ended their hunger strike of their own volition and without any conditions,” a source in the Israeli Prison Service (IPS) told AFP. “The prisoners’ move was not conditioned on receiving benefits,” the source stressed.
But Jordan’s National Committee for Prisoners in Israel said the inmates ended their strike after an agreement was made, through the Jordanian Foreign Ministry, to allow their families to visit them.
