Palestinian activists and organisations across the world have called for a global strike on Monday, December 11, to demand immediate ceasefire of the Israeli attacks on Gaza that have intensified with time.

Palestinian coalition, National and Islamic Forces, called for a strike and people across the world, to strike “all aspects of public life” in support of Gaza.

“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 statement released by the coalition read.

“The strike also opposes attempts to undermine the just national cause of the Palestinian people,” it said.

People around the world have been called to unanimously express their solidarity with Palestinians who are currently suffering the consequences of Israeli atrocities being committed in Gaza. So far, more than 18,000 people have been killed and more than 49,000 people have been wounded.
