The “International Campaign for the Inclusion of Israeli Settler Groups in List of Terrorist Organizations” campaign was launched in London, on Sunday, as the West Bank continues to be consumed by antiwar demonstrations and ensuing confrontations. Israel resumed its assault on the Gaza Strip, Sunday, following a temporary ceasefire over the weekend, during which the Israeli army killed at least 10 Palestinians.
According to WAFA Palestinian News & Info Agency, campaign spokesperson Fadi Abu Siso said the group is preparing for a special meeting with lawmakers and policymakers from the British House of Commons, in order to discuss ways of incorporating the campaign into the policies of British political parties.
In addition to submitting a draft law in this regard, the campaign will continue to attract public support in helping to achieve its goals.
Over 500,000 Israelis currently live in settlements deemed illegal by the United Nations and the Fourth Geneva Convention, as they are constructed on illegally-seized Palestinian land in the West Bank and Jerusalem.
Meanwhile, WAFA correspondence continues to report confrontations between Israeli forces and West Bank Palestinian protesters engaged in demonstrations over Israel's ongoing assaults on the already besieged Gaza Strip.
Confrontations have broken out across the southern West Bank governorate of Hebron, in which Israeli soldiers fired live and rubber-coated bullets, stun grenades and poison gas towards local residents, shooting and injuring at least one man who was transferred to hospital for medical treatment. more
