Palestinian official Khader Shaath hold the Israeli occupation full responsibility for the life of Habboub pointing out that he has cancer for more than ten years, and his health is deteriorating.

Shaath called on international institutions to stop the Israeli kidnapping of Palestinian patients at the Beit Hanoun crossing.

Detainee’s family confirmed that her son did not engage in any political activity because he is sick from a young age, and traveled several times through the same crossing to hospitals in Jordan, Nablus and Jerusalem, and had surgery two months ago there.
