FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda 
The political officer at the European Commission headquarters in occupied Jerusalem has revealed efforts for the release of Samer Al-Issawi, who has been on hunger strike for 261 days. Joris Van Winckel confirmed that the Commission is waiting for a response from the Israelis within the next 48 hours over Al-Issawi’s release from prison.
The European diplomat said that ongoing contacts have been made between the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs, Catherine Ashton, and the Israelis demanding the release of the hunger striker. Al-Issawi is protesting against conditions for Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails and the use of so-called administrative detention to keep people locked up without charge or trial.
Winckel made his comments during a sit-in organised by campaign groups in Jerusalem on Monday, in front of the Commission headquarters. Members of Al-Issawi’s family took part as protesters called on the Europeans to intervene for the release of all Palestinian prisoners on hunger strike in Israeli jails, including Al-Issawi.
