In a statement, Hamas called on the Palestinian people to hold a comprehensive strike in all cities from the river to the sea (historic Palestine) on Tuesday, “in Jerusalem, the West Bank and the occupied interior, and the announcement of the revolutionary warfare and the launching of marches towards the points of engagement and confrontation in all lines of contact.” Read also In protest against the Israeli escalation … a comprehensive strike on Tuesday in cities and towns within the Green Line and the Shin Bet, arresting dozens.Continuing demonstrations and clashes inside the Green Line in victory for Jerusalem and Gaza Imposing emergency in Lod … Israelis attack Palestinians, and a campaign of arrests inside the Green Line Palestinians commemorate Earth Day with marches inside the Green Line

He added, “This historic moment in the life of our people requires the full involvement of all the masses. Giving blood in Gaza, the West Bank and the interior requires all of us to continue the march with determination and strength to force this criminal occupier to recognize our rights and stop the aggression.”

The call was widely accepted through the communication platforms, where activists and tweeters saw that uniting the ranks in front of the occupation is the first step to victory, referring to the general strike that the Palestinian people waged in 1936, which lasted for 6 full months.

Activist Adham Abu Salima commented – in a tweet on his Twitter account – saying, “Tomorrow, Palestine will integrate from its river to its sea by striking, and its masses jump forward to establish an overarching goal that excludes anyone, which is liberation.”

He added, “It is the only possible national project for Palestine, with all its geography – disaster, setback and diaspora – to restore Palestine, and this is the hope that this confrontation revived today and brought it back to the fore.”

Writer Maher Al-Yousfi said – in another tweet – “The strike in Palestine is the language and method of popular resistance, from the river to the sea, a strike with confrontations to the occupation in the fields.
