They say Khader Adnan, 37, will gradually begin to eat and drink, and will be released in two weeks' time.

He is being held in "administrative detention" - a procedure under which Israel is able to imprison Palestinian suspects without trial indefinitely.

Israel has said the member of the Islamic Jihad is a security threat.

Qadoura Fares, chairman of the Palestinian Prisoners Club, said that a "deal has been reached" for Mr Adnan to end his hunger strike and that Israel would then release him on 12 July, according to Reuters.

Israel's Haaretz newspaper also reported that the Israeli authorities had agreed to free Mr Adnan, who is currently in hospital.

Mr Adnan has been arrested a number of times by Israel - the last time this happened was in July 2014.

Under "administrative detention" Israel can hold Palestinian suspects indefinitely for renewable six-month periods.
