(Adds Israel weighs curbing stipends to Palestinian inmates) JERUSALEM, June 25 (Reuters) - Scores of Palestinians on hunger strike suspended their protest against detention without charge by Israel on Wednesday, but an Israeli official denied suggestions there had been any major change of policy in return. Around 120 Palestinians on so-called "administrative detention" began fasting on April 24, and were eventually joined by a**ther 180 inmates. Around 75 required hospitalisation, fuelling debate in Israel over a proposed force-feeding law. Qadoura Fares, a Palestinian official representing the prisoners, told Reuters the hunger strike had been suspended overnight after the detainees had secured an undertaking from their Israeli jailers for better conditions.
