General strike in 48 territories to protest escalation of crimes

Today, Tuesday, the Arab community in the occupied territories launched a general strike to protest the killings and the inaction of the Israeli police.


Public utilities, service institutions, and shops in Arab towns closed their doors in response to the decision of the Follow-up Committee for the Arab Masses, which was approved the day before yesterday, Sunday, in the municipality of Kafr Qara, declaring a general and comprehensive strike, provided that schools join after the third session, so that local popular marches begin in Arab cities and villages. .


The Follow-up Committee called for adherence to the general strike, "in light of the continued escalation of the cycle of crime and violence in the occupied interior, and the exposed official complicity, to make our society drown in a state of terror and blood, and to count the dead and injured victims."


It emphasized that "our strike reflects the collective national position against the ongoing crime and the government's support for it, in order to stop what is happening and ensure a safe life and a better future for our children and the emerging generations."
