HAMAS’ HANIYEH CALLS FOR 3 AUGUST TO BE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF ACTION FOR GAZA

Mon 29 July 2024:

The head of Hamas’s political bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, has called for Saturday 3 August to be declared the International Day of Action for Gaza and Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.

“We hope that 3 August will be a pivotal, significant, and impactful day across all of Palestine, in refugee camps and the diaspora, in our Arab and Islamic world, and among all the free people around the world, to support our people in Gaza and our free prisoners in the [Israeli] occupation’s jails,” Haniyeh said a press statement yesterday.

Saturday marks 300 days since the “Nazi-Zionist occupation” launched its genocidal war “against the people of Gaza”, Haniyeh said.

“This call comes in light of the international silence and incapacity to stop this aggressive war against our people and prisoners, the full bias, support, and partnership of the US administration in this aggression, and the failure of human rights and humanitarian institutions to take responsibility in providing support and backing to our people in Gaza and our prisoners in the Zionist enemy’s jails,” Haniyeh concluded.

Last week, the Palestinian Commission for Detainees’ Affairs called for protests on 3 August to shed light on the plight of Palestinian prisoners inside Israel’s jails.

In June, Palestinian prisoners’ institutions said Israel has detained more than 9,000 Palestinians, including 300 women and 635 minors, from the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, since 7 October.

Israel has killed more than 39,300 Palestinians in Gaza since 7 October, the majority women and children.
