Tal Yanon Dardik, an administrative detainee on hunger strike for 32 days, was at the center of a dramatic court hearing Thursday evening, according to Channel 14. The Jerusalem District Court convened to discuss his case; the nature of the drama was not immediately specified. Earlier Thursday, as The Zioneer reported, Dardik arrived at the same court for a hearing. His hunger strike, protesting his detention without trial, has drawn attention from right-wing activists and public figures. He was hospitalized last week with a low pulse, and prior reports indicated his condition was worsening. The outcome of Thursday's hearing remains unclear.
