MK Danny Danon (Likud) on Tuesday morning slammed the deal Israel signed to bring an end to a hunger strike by inmates, calling it a "mistake" and a "prize for terrorism."

Speaking to Israel Radio, Danon said: "We will end up paying for this mistake," and added that the deal was "not worth the paper it is written on." Danon also condemned Israel for maintaining luxurious conditions for prison inmates, likening the jail system to a kindergarten.

MK Isaac Herzog (Labor) also condemned the deal, saying that it served only to strengthen Hamas
