It’s reported Mohammed al-Qiq, who was detained by Israel in November, has agreed to end a three-month hunger strike.

The EU, UN and rights groups had expressed concern over the case.
Details about the agreement are not yet known, but its’ reported Qiq is being treated in a hospital in the north of the country.
He’d been held in what is known as “administrative” detention, in which someone can be held without charge for long periods.
