Israel is trying to force Al-Eesawy to accept to be forced into exile aboard, or be sent to the Gaza Strip, as the Israeli army and police do not want him to return to his home in Al-Isawiyya.

“This is the determination that Samer carries, from the first day of his strike”, she said, “It is either freedom and liberation. or martyrdom”.
