The National and Islamic Forces, a coalition of major factions in Palestine, has called for an inclusive global strike next Monday that would include all aspects of life in solidarity with the Palestinian people-particularly in the Gaza Strip-who have been facing an Israeli war of genocide, displacement and ethnic cleansing for 64 days in a row.

In a press statement released this evening, the Forces called on the public across Palestine to take to the streets and public squares across the country in an expression of national unity. These public demonstrations would send a message of a strong opposition to any attempts at uprooting and displacement, it said.

The Forces affirmed that the legitimate struggle of the Palestinian people will continue by all means guaranteed by international law, and will not stop until the Palestinians have achieved their freedom, independence and statehood.

‘We expect the entire globe to join the strike, which comes in the context of a broad international movement involving in
fluential figures. This movement stands against the open genocide in Gaza, the ethnic cleansing and the colonial settlement in the West Bank,’ said the statement. ‘The strike also opposes attempts to undermine the just national cause of the Palestinian people,’ it added.

The Forces emphasized that people worldwide are uniting in the face of the injustice, murder, and racism perpetrated by the Israeli occupation, sending a message of solidarity with the children, women, and elderly who have fallen victim to Israel’s organized terrorism and war crimes.

The strike, according to the Forces, conveys a powerful message from living nations standing beside the Palestinian people and their legitimate rights for return, self-determination, and national independence with a sovereign state with Jerusalem as its capital.
