Middle East countries join global call for strike in solidarity with Palestinians

Several Middle Eastern countries and organizations heeded a global call for a strike on Monday in solidarity with the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.

Palestinian activists and grassroots organizations called on the people in Palestine and elsewhere in the world to join a strike in protest against the ongoing Israeli war on the Gaza Strip and to pressure for a cease-fire.

A group of Palestinian factions on Sunday called on the people in Palestine and elsewhere in the world to join a strike in protest against the ongoing Israeli war on the Gaza Strip and to pressure for a cease-fire.

“We expect the entire globe to join the strike, which comes in the context of a broad international movement involving influential figures. This movement stands against the open genocide in Gaza, the ethnic cleansing and the colonial settlement in the West Bank,” the Palestinian National and Islamic Forces said in a statement.
