General strike for tomorrow in all the Arab cities of Israel

The Supreme Arab Monitoring Committee, the umbrella organization representing the Palestinian citizens of Israel, met urgently after the incident.

In a written statement made by the committee after the meeting, it was stated that a general strike, encompassing all Arab local governments and the education system in Israel, will be held tomorrow to protest the shooting of Asibi by Israeli police. .

COMMISSION WILL BE ESTABLISHED

The statement indicated that the special education system will not participate in the strike and that “from today there will be demonstrations in various Arab towns and cities” and “it has been decided to establish a special committee of investigation into the execution of Asibi.” .

The committee called for “the funeral ceremony to be held tomorrow in the city of Hura in Asibi to be transformed into a mass demonstration against all policies of occupation, oppression and racial discrimination.”

WHAT HAPPENED?

Israeli forces killed Asibi on the grounds that he had tried to seize the gun of one of the police officers conducting identity checks at the Silsile Gate, which opened into the Masjid al-Aqsa in the Old City of East Jerusalem, at night. .

After the incident, Israeli forces attacked Palestinians at the Kattanin Gate from the entrances of Masjid al-Aqsa, beating Palestinians with batons and damaging materials belonging to the cafeteria.

Israeli forces, which closed the entrances and exits of Masjid al-Aqsa for a while, later reopened the gates of Aqsa.

In a statement on Twitter, the Israeli police claimed that Asibi “took the policeman’s gun and fired two shots at the policemen”, and claimed that the police, who were in danger, neutralized the person in question.

In the statement, which emphasized that all security cameras in the region were reviewed, it was stated that the incident was not reflected in the camera records.

The family of the slain young Palestinian doctor denied accusations made by Israel that “the victim tried to take the gun from the policeman’s waist” and called for the security camera footage to be released if the accusations were true. (AA)
