The article discusses the recent actions taken in the case of Samer al-lssami who was arrested on conspiracy charges after he crossed from his native East Jerusalem to the occupied West Bank. Officials said he was arrested for his "continued involvement in attempting to establish terror cells." lasswi has agreed to stop his on-off hunger strike that has lasted over 8 months after officials dropped the conspiracy charges and lowered his sentences to only another 8 months. This decision is in response to the riots and protests that have broken out due to lssawi's fasting. The Israeli government could see what the death of a civilian can spark and they did not want a fruit cart vendor situation on their hands.
