Palestinian hunger strikers

Palestinian hunger strikers are individuals detained by Israeli authorities who refuse food to protest their imprisonment, often aiming to draw attention to their detention conditions or political grievances. This form of non-violent resistance seeks to exert moral and political pressure, highlighting issues like administrative detention without trial. The strikers’ health is at significant risk due to prolonged starvation, and their actions can influence public opinion and diplomatic responses, making them a notable aspect of the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
