JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israel
set new terms on Wednesday that might hasten the release of a
Palestinian who is on a 65-day-old hunger strike against his detention
without trial.
A Supreme Court ruling on Mohammed Allan’s petition to be
freed was anticipated later in the day and could hinge on an assessment
of his mental capacities by doctors in an Israeli hospital where he is
in critical condition.
The 31-year-old Islamic Jihad activist’s case is being
monitored closely by opposing sides in an Israeli-Palestinian conflict
that could boil over in new violence in the Israeli-occupied West Bank
and from the Gaza Strip if he dies.
