<p>Israel has arrested 337,000 Palestinians since the
start of the First Intifada in 8 December 1987, the
Palestine Prisoners’ Centre for Studies said yesterday.</p>
<p>In spite of the arrests, the centre’s spokesperson
Riyadh Al-Ashqar said, the occupation has failed to
achieve its goals of suppressing the Palestinian
resistance and its efforts to liberate Palestine.</p>
<p>Israel has arrests Palestinians on an almost daily
basis, he added.</p>
<p>According to the report, occupation forces arrested
210,000 Palestinians between <a
href="https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20171209-remembering-the-first-intifada-2/">1987</a>
and 1994, when the <a
href="https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20180913-remembering-the-arafat-rabin-handshake/">Palestinian
Authority was established</a>.</p>
<p>Israel built and opened a number of prisons in order to
administer the detentions. The most famous is Al-Naqab
Prisoner, which is located in the middle of the desert
and which hosted tens of thousands of the Palestinian
detainees.</p>

forces injure 33 Palestinian protesters </a></strong></p>
<p>Between 1994 and 2000, the Israeli occupation arrested
10,000 Palestinians, 97,000 others were detained between
<a
href="https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20170928-remembering-the-second-intifada/">2000</a>
and <a
href="https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20180914-on-this-day-the-jerusalem-intifada/">2015</a>.
Since 2015 until today, Israeli occupation forces have
arrested 20,000 Palestinians.</p>
<p>The report reiterated that detainees’ medical needs are
ignored and as a result they suffer negligence and abuse
in Israeli jails.</p>
<p>Al-Ashqar said that there are 27 Palestinians prisoners
inside the Israeli jail who have been serving sentences
since before the creation of the Palestinian Authority
in 1994.</p>
<p>They are, he said, the prisoners who Israel refused to
release prior to the anticipated resumption of peace
talks in 2014, meaning negotiations <a
href="https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20140418-failure-to-launch-why-the-peace-talks-never-succeed/">never
got underway</a>.</p>
