The government has informed the Supreme Court that it will immediately release Mohammed Allan, should he be diagnosed with irreversible brain damage.
Minister of Public Security Gilad Erdan (Likud) stated: "His [Allan's] release would be a prize for the hunger strike that he carried out and likely to cause many other prisoners to go on hunger strike, once they realize that it is a new tool to pressure the State of Israel," said Minister of Public Security Gilad Erdan (Likud). He added, "We fight terror firmly, and we don't look for compromises."
