Tomorrow, Monday, the world will witness a global strike, called by social, human rights, and media activists around the world, in solidarity with Gaza and Palestine, in rejection of the Israeli aggression, and denouncing Washington’s stance rejecting the UN Security Council resolution on a ceasefire.
The call to action includes not leaving one's home, not making any purchases in person or online, deactivating Facebook and Instagram accounts, and using the hashtag #StrikeForGaza in English and #الاضراب_الشامل in Arabic.
Everyone on the planet is invited -#StrikeForGaza Monday 11 December

Stores, universities, and schools are expected to close. According to the details of the widely circulated calls, the strike participants will not use their vehicles, will not shop, and will not use bank cards to pay for their purchases.
The spokesperson for the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Ashraf al-Qudra said on Sunday that the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) committed "more than 20 massacres in the past hours," noting that "only 1% of the casualties of the aggression departed for treatment through the Rafah crossing."
The campaign aims to put pressure on countries that support “Israel” to stop the war on Gaza, which left about 18,000 martyrs.
Earlier in the day, the IOF targeted Khan Yunis, Deir al-Balah, and the camps of Jabalia, Nuseirat, Maghazi, and al-Zawaida, as well as the neighborhoods of Tuffah and Shejaiya east of Gaza City and several areas in the northern Gaza Strip. The strikes resulted in the martyrdom of more than 10 people and the injury of others.

On Saturday, tens of thousands of people gathered in London for another weekend of protests, demanding "Israel" end its attack on Gaza and slamming their government for failing to support a truce in the strip.
Meanwhile, in the US Pro-Palestine members of the Jewish community in the United States demonstrated outside the offices of Democratic Party Congressman Dwight Evans in Philadelphia, demanding that he support a ceasefire in Gaza.
The United States on Friday vetoed a United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, "diplomatically" shielding its ally.
