PA libel: Israel “committed premeditatedly” the “murder” of an imprisoned Palestinian terrorist by “deliberate medical neglect”
Headline: “Prisoner Kamal Abu Wa’er died as a Martyr – Shtayyeh conveys condolences to the Martyr’s father, and holds the occupation (i.e., Israel) responsible for this due to [their] deliberate medical negligence”
“Kamal Abu Wa’er (i.e., terrorist, involved in the murder of at least 4 people), 49, a cancer patient prisoner in the Israeli occupation’s prison, died yesterday evening [Nov. 10, 2020] as a Martyr, as a result of the [Israeli] policy of deliberate medical negligence (sic., see note below).
[PA] Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh conveyed his condolences yesterday evening to the Martyr’s relatives during a phone call with his father. The prime minister said: ‘We are consoling ourselves, our people, and the Martyr’s family on our loss of a fighter and a pure-hearted son of Palestine, who sacrificed his freedom for the sake of the freedom of his people and his homeland.’ He added: ‘We hold the occupation (i.e., Israel) responsible for Abu Wa’er’s death as a Martyr, due to the prison managements’ deliberate medical neglect of our prisoners.’ Shtayyeh again called on the international institutions and human rights organizations to intervene for the release of the sick [Palestinian] prisoners, elderly prisoners, female prisoners, and child prisoners from the occupation’s prisons. The prime minister prayed to Almighty and Omnipotent Allah that He wrap the Martyr in His great mercies, have him dwell in Paradise, and bestow his family with patience and consolation.
Director of [PLO] Commission of Prisoners’ Affairs, Qadri Abu Bakr accused the occupation (i.e., Israel) of murdering prisoner Abu Wa’er, and [did] this by abandoning him as prey to cancer. In a phone call with [the official PA news agency] WAFA, he added that the medical crime against Martyr prisoner Abu Wa’er is testimony to the racism and the grudge that the occupation feels, and also to its efforts to harm our prisoners in all ways.
Abu Bakr held the occupation government fully responsible for this crime, which was committed premeditatedly by the [Israeli] Prison Service that knew well the severity of prisoner Abu Wa’er’s health condition, which necessitated his immediate release.”
