The Palestinian National and Islamic Forces group has announced a global general strike for Monday (April 7th) in protest of the ongoing Israeli attacks in the Palestinian Gaza Strip. Al Jazeera reported the news, citing the Palestinian news agency WAFA.
The Palestinian National and Islamic Forces group is a coalition that was formed shortly after the outbreak of the Second Intifada with the approval of Yasser Arafat and under the leadership of Marwan Barghouti.
In a statement, the coalition emphasized the need to highlight the dire situation in Gaza and the increasing death toll as a result of the Israeli attacks, calling for this strike to underscore the urgency of the matter.
The statement also stressed the importance of uniting local and international efforts to end the war and called for accountability for Israeli crimes and violations of Palestinian human rights in Gaza.
