Global Solidarity Strike Demands End to Israeli War on Gaza

Palestinian organizations and grassroots activists have called for a global strike demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, which has been devastated by Israeli bombardment. The strike involves skipping school and work, refraining from going out to restaurants, banks, and stores, and not making online transactions or shopping online. The strike was announced by a coalition of major Palestinian factions and has garnered global support. Its significance lies in protesting the US veto on a recent UN Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire and putting pressure on countries supporting Israel to rethink their support.
