Attacks on Gaza continue, killing five Palestinians. U.S. sanctions Gaza-based medical groups. U.S. boosts Israel aid in 2026. General strike protests crime in Palestinian towns inside Israel. Gaza’s technocratic committee awaits guarantees.
A general strike shut down Palestinian towns inside of Israel on Thursday, leading to the four main parties representing Palestinian citizens of Israel agreeing to run on a ‘joint list’ in the next Knesset elections, with their leaders signing a pledge titled “Joint List Now.”
The strike was called to protest surging crime and killings in Palestinian communities and originated in Sakhnin. Demonstrations were held in northern towns, including Umm al-Fahm, Shefa-‘Amr, Tamra, Majd al-Krum, and Kafr Manda, with larger protests planned in Sakhnin and Rahat, followed by rallies in Nazareth and Kafr Kanna on Friday.
The Higher Follow-Up Committee for Arab Citizens of Israel said the spike in violence stems from state neglect and held the Israeli government responsible for unchecked criminal gangs and their killings, according to information shared by Sada News.
