PA-funded Prisoners’ Club accuses Israel of “deliberate medical neglect”
Headline: “Prisoner Muhammad Daoud was transferred to the hospital due to a deterioration in his health”
“The [PA-funded] Prisoners’ Club said that prisoner Muhammad Adel Daoud (i.e., terrorist, murdered pregnant woman and her 5-year-old son), 61, was transferred to the Barzilai Hospital due to a deterioration in his health…
Daoud, who is one of the sick prisoners who is dealing with the policy of deliberate medical neglect (slow murder) [parentheses in source], is suffering from stomach and intestinal problems (sic., see note below regarding PA libel on medical abuse of Palestinian prisoners). Last year [2022] he underwent surgery, and he is still dealing with a severe health condition. He also suffers from psoriasis and severe dental problems.”
[Official PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, Dec. 26, 2022]
Muhammad Adel Daoud - Palestinian terrorist who murdered Ofra Moses, who was pregnant, and her 5-year-old son, Tal Moses, by throwing a Molotov cocktail at their car on April 11, 1987. Daoud is serving a life sentence.
Libel on medical abuse of Palestinian prisoners - The PA claims that Israel abuses Palestinian prisoners through medical neglect, medical experiments, and by intentionally infecting them with diseases. However, the International Red Cross regularly visits these prisoners and has not documented or accused Israel of any of these claims. Likewise, lists of demands occasionally issued by the prisoners during hunger strikes—such as during one in 2011—include no demands relating to these claims. PMW has documented prisoners talking about how they "lack nothing" in the prisons and that "the worst thing about Israeli prison" is riding in a prison vehicle that has no padding on the seat. When PMW contacted the Israeli Ministry of Health in 2007 regarding PA claims of medical experiments on prisoners, the ministry responded: "Clinical testing on prisoners in prison was never approved, never performed, and is most certainly not taking place at present."
