On Thursday, the Arab Israeli protestors outside of the Knesset building in Jerusalem stopped their hunger strike in light of the announcement by the State Prosecutors Office to reopen the October 2000 riot cases where 13 Arabs - 12 Israeli citizens and 1 Palestinians - were shot and killed. The announcement comes after a Police Investigation released on September 18th that decided to close the investigation against police officers allegedly involved in shooting the rioters. Former Prime Minister Ehud Barak expressed his outrage in the file being reopened, "agreed to [the probe] after bowing down to pressure by the Arab political sector. An attorney general said that [in the Police Investigations Department's report] there was no bias or anything of the sort, and then some people go on a hunger strike and put up a protest tent and the legal procedure is completely altered."
