JERUSALEM (JTA) -- More than 1,600 Palestinians in Israeli jails reportedly are set to launch a hunger strike on what is called Palestinian Prisoners Day.
The coordinated hunger strike is scheduled to begin Tuesday, the Palestinian Ma'an news agency reported.
But it is unclear whether Fatah and Hamas prisoners will begin the hunger strike together, Ma'an reported, citing Issa Qaraqe, the Palestinian Authority prisoners' affairs minister.
