Israeli authorities are continuing to refuse to release the body of Palestinian activist Odeh Hadalin, who was fatally shot by an Israeli settler last Monday in the occupied West Bank. Israel is also still detaining seven members of his family. Sixty Palestinian women from the village of Umm al-Khair began a hunger strike on Thursday to demand justice. On Sunday, Israelis also held demonstrations in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem to protest the killing of Hadalin, who worked on the Oscar-winning film “No Other Land.”
Meanwhile, Israeli authorities have released the settler accused of killing Hadalin, Yinon Levi. He had been under house arrest. Earlier this year, the Trump administration lifted Biden-era sanctions on Levi.
