No Conditions on Syrian Dialogue
Al-Monitor’s coverage and analysis of the demonstrations in the West Bank, the role of Hezbollah in Syria, and the urgency of starting negotiations between the Syrian government and the opposition without conditions.
Palestinian Protests
The evolution of the plight of Palestinian prisoners as a trend for renewed protests in the West Bank, has been covered extensively in Al-Monitor.
Thousands of Palestinian prisoners began a one-day hunger strike Sunday [Feb. 24] to acknowledge an inmate's death following days of protests throughout the West Bank in support of four prisoners on prolonged hunger strikes.
Daoud Kuttab , in a Feb. 14 article, wrote that the case of "Prisoner X" (revealed to be Ben Zygier, a dual Australian-Israeli citizen, whose case has become a spy story which Laura Rozen has covered) has been an opportunity to draw attention to Palestinian prisoners demanding more humane treatment and a halt to detentions without charge or trial.
