<p><span>The <span>Israeli Prison Services</span> (IPS)
has decided to reduce food amounts served to
Palestinian prisoners inside Israeli jails, as well as
other services, Palestinian Prisoner Club (PPC)
revealed on Monday.</span></p>
<p>Israel has been intensifying a crackdown on Palestinian
inmates over the past two years. <span>In a statement,
the PPC declared that this step is part of Israeli
Minister <span>Gilad Erdan’s plan</span>, aimed at
worsening conditions for Palestinian prisoners, and
canceling all the achievements</span><span> gained
throughout the years.</span></p>

<p><span>The PPC also stated that Israel is to reduce the
number of TV channels allowed for the prisoners from
ten to seven, to lower the number of loaves of bread
from five to four, and to withdraw cookers and 40
items from their purchases. </span></p>
<p><span>In addition, the IPS will also cut down on the
amount of meat, water and books allowed. </span>It
will offer only boiled eggs, ban the use of colored
blankets, restrict movement among prison departments,
decrease the time of breaks, minimize the number of
family visits and change factional representation.</p>
<p><span>Meanwhile, <span>the prisoners</span> stressed
that they are currently laying out a resistance plan
against the IPS over these measures, which are
gradually being implemented.</span></p>

<p><span><i>“</i></span><span>The collective efforts at
stifling their voices, even to the point of murder
through torture and medical negligence, is provoking
an oblivion which is tantamount to a loss of identity,
at least when it comes to perception from the
outside,” wrote renowned journalist and author Ramona
Wadi.</span></p>
<p><span><span><i>“</i></span> With the exception of
Palestinians in close proximity with Israeli forces,
who spares a thought for Palestinian prisoners before
they are turned into temporary headlines by Israel’s
colonial violence?,” Wadi added.</span></p>
