- The suffering of Palestinian workers is part of the tragedy our people are experiencing as a result of the occupation, which has continued for more than seven decades and has been escalating for more than 18 months.
- The [Israeli] occupation’s crimes against Palestinian workers are systematic crimes aimed at disrupting all aspects of human life, in flagrant violation of all international laws and conventions.
- We reiterate our rejection of all forms of targeting of the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees by the occupation and its supporters.
- We specifically call on labour unions in the transport and port sectors to escalate the boycott of Zionist and international shipping companies involved in supporting the occupation and supplying it with weapons used to kill civilians and commit crimes of genocide and ethnic cleansing against our people.
Ben-Gvir urges Israeli lawmakers to enact death penalty law for imprisoned ‘terrorists’
Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir has urged the death penalty for those he described as “terrorists” imprisoned in Israel.
“We have changed all the conditions of imprisonment for terrorists,” the far-right minister said in a speech during a police memorial day ceremony at Mount Herzl, local Israeli media outlet Zman reported.
“Let us have a death penalty law for terrorists,” he added.
According to the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society, the number of Palestinian political prisoners in Israeli jails as of early April 2025 “exceeds 9,900 people, including 3,498 held under administrative detention in the occupied West Bank without trial or charge”.
