Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh on Tuesday accused the Israeli occupation of deliberately assassinating the prisoner Khader Adnan.

Adnan, 44, died this morning in his prison cell after 87 days of hunger strike in protest against his detention without charge.

"The Israeli occupation and its prison administration carried out a deliberate assassination against the prisoner Khader Adnan by rejecting his request for his release, neglecting him medically, and keeping him in his cell despite the seriousness of his health condition," said the Prime Minister in a statement reacting to the death this morning of Adnan.

The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates today held the Israeli entity government fully responsible for the death of the prisoner Khader Adnan and called for an international investigation into his death.

It called in a statement on the international investigation committee to also include the circumstances and details of the death of Adnan while in an Israeli prison in its investigation of Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people, stressing that it will submit the file of this crime to the International Criminal Court.
