(Before It's News)

A deal to end the hunger strike by around 2,000 Palestinian prisoners has been signed, an Israeli government official has confirmed.

Few details were given, but Israel appears to have made significant concessions on some of the prisoners’ key demands, including on solitary confinement and visits by families in Gaza to prisoners held in Israel.

A spokeswoman for the Israeli prison service said there had also been movement on the issue of “administrative detention”, Israel’s term for imprisonment without charge or trial.

The deal was brokered by Egyptian officials following widespread protests in support of the hunger strikers in the West Bank and Gaza.
