August 3 marked as day of support for Gaza and Palestinian prisoners
August 3, 2024 has been announced as the national and global day for supporting the Gaza Strip and Palestinians held in Israeli prisons by the preparatory committee for the International Day of Solidarity with Gaza and Prisoners.
Abdullah al-Zaghar, head of the Palestinian Prisoner's Society (PPS), said during a press conference on Sunday that the Israeli occupation's massacres in the Gaza Strip and the crimes committed against Palestinians held in Israeli jails constitute the basis for national unity and the defeat of the occupation.
Zaghar highlighted the importance of using all available means to encourage the world to take crucial and concrete steps to stop the Israeli campaign of genocide in the Gaza Strip.
The genocide did not start on the October 7, 2023, he said, but it is merely a continuation of decades-long catastrophes against the Palestinian people.
In a statement issued by the committee, it called for imposing legal sanctions on Israel encompassing diplomatic, economic, and financial aspects, ending all other forms of complicity with Israel's illegal military occupation.
It also called for reactivating the special committee of the United Nations to combat apartheid to help eradicate the apartheid regime in Israel and hold those responsible to account.
It called for suspending the regime's UN membership and stripping the Zionist entity of the privileges and rights granted by membership in the international body.
Also, it called on the European Union to suspend the Schengen Agreement, which benefits terrorist colonial gangs and Israeli political and military leaders involved in genocide, as well as in the killing and torture of prisoners.
