A general strike started on Tuesday morning in the besieged Gaza Strip in rejection of the Bahrain conference which deals with the economic portion of the US deal of the century.
Accordingly Palestinian citizens stopped going to their workplaces closed businesses. Public transportation also came to a halt and most of the public and private institutions including universities banks and courts were shut for the day.
The Follow-up Committee for the National and Islamic Forces had called for a general strike in Gaza to deplore the Bahrain economic conference urging citizens to raise black flags over homes and in their areas.
The Committee said it would hold a national conference at the Rashad Shawa Cultural Center on Tuesday in conjunction with the Manama workshop.
Another popular conference will take place Wednesday in the east of Gaza.
A massive popular march will also be organized on the same day from the western gate of the UNRWA headquarters to the UN offices in Gaza.
During the Manama workshop slated for today and tomorrow June 25-26 US president Donald Trump’s brother-in-law and aide Jared Kushner is expected to present the economic plan for the settlement of the Palestinian cause.
