AMMAN — Mohammad Abu Jaber on Thursday said his brother Abdullah, a Jordanian prisoner in Israel, has been on hunger strike for 24 days.

In a statement released by the media team supporting Jordanian prisoners in Israel, Fedaa, Mohammad said his brother was in critical condition and was transferred to the Israeli Ramla Military Hospital.

Mohammad said Abdullah is striking to demand his release after serving two-thirds of his sentence, the statement added. Abdullah was arrested in 2000 for “resisting the occupation forces”, and is serving a 20-year prison term, Fedaa member Shireen Nafe told The Jordan Times in previous remarks.
