Palestinian factions in Ramallah and al-Bireh governorate on Saturday called for escalating popular resistance against Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) and settlers.
In a statement the factions asked Palestinians in Ramallah and al-Bireh to participate in a protest sit-in before the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in al-Bireh at 11 a.m. on Sunday.
The event aims at protesting the IOF targeting of Palestinian children and refusing the arrogance and oppression of MK Oren Hazan who verbally attacked families of prisoners a few days ago. The factions are going to hand a letter to the ICRC in which they demand that the international organization bear the responsibility for protecting prisoners’ families.
The factions also urged Palestinians to take part in a march that will be held at 4 p.m. on Sunday to mark Fatah Movement’s anniversary.
The statement announced a sit-in to be staged before the UN headquarters in Ramallah on Wednesday. It aims at expressing gratitude to all those people all over the world who supported and advocated the rights of the Palestinian people and refused the US President Donald Trump’s decision on Jerusalem.
Next Friday was also declared as a day of field escalation across the governorate and the West Bank where a massive march is slated to be held in Ramallah at Beit El barrier.
