STORYLINE
Nasser Abu Hamid, 49, was moved from prison to Israel's Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon, where he is on a ventilator, the Palestinian Prisoners Club (PPC) said.
Abu Hamid, who had recently begun chemotherapy treatment, was admitted to hospital because he suffered from a very high temperature, the PPC said.
The organisation said his need for assisted breathing "warns of a great danger to his life, especially since he suffers from cancer".
Abu Hamid, who has been in prison since 2002, began to fall ill in August with chest pain. Doctors found and removed a lung tumour.
The prisoner was moved back to Israel's Ashkelon jail where his condition worsened. The PPC said his access to chemotherapy was deliberately delayed.
Abu Hamid is one of five brothers from the same family handed life sentences by Israel. A sixth brother from the same family was killed by Israeli forces.
Their mother was not allowed to visit them for years and their father died while the brothers were behind bars.
