Palestinian detainee Mohammad Allan ended a two-month hunger strike Thursday that had put his life at risk and sparked intense debate over his detention without trial by the Zionist authorities, his lawyer said.

His decision to stop his protest came after the Zionist top court late Wednesday suspended his detention without trial, but ordered him to remain in hospital pending a final decision on his case.

Allan's hunger strike, which began June 18, had captured the attention of both the Zionist and Palestinian public, while putting the Jewish entity under increasing pressure as the 31-year-old's health worsened.

The court's ruling sparked criticism from Palestinian activists who said it had come too late, with Allan's health deteriorating, as well as from the Zionist authorities ministers claiming judges had given in to "blackmail".

Allan's lawyer and his mother visited him in hospital in the southern occupied city of Ashkelon on Thursday and said his health was improving, though he remained bedridden and was receiving vitamins and minerals intravenously.
