Meanwhile, a Palestinian journalist has returned home to the West Bank after holding a 94-day hunger strike to protest his indefinite detention by Israel. Journalist Mohammad al-Qiq is a reporter for the Saudi News Agency Almajd TV Network. He was accused of being involved with Hamas. His wife Faihaa Shalash spoke upon his release.

Faihaa Shalash: “It is a feeling of happiness that cannot be described on this historic day. We thought that Mohammad might die during the hunger strike, but now, all that is just a memory.”
