The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has made an urgent appeal to the people of the world to actively take part in a week-long rally to push for an end to Israel’s vicious campaign of genocide in the besieged Gaza Strip.

In a Wednesday statement, Hamas called on the “Arab and Muslim nations and the free people” of the world to attend the rally on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (April 18, 19 and 20).

The Palestinian resistance movement declared those days as “days of worldwide anger in the face of the occupation and against the American complicity and international inaction.”

Hamas reiterated the need for immediate international action to put an end to “ongoing Zionist brutality and genocide against our Palestinian people in Gaza, which is committed under the American support and deafening international silence.”

It also called for a global general strike on Tuesday (April 22) in all universities and educational institutions around the world in support of the besieged people of Gaza.

Pro-Palestinian protests have swept across major cities worldwide in solidarity with the people of Palestine since Israel launched its campaign of genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza in October 2023.

Demonstrations have drawn large crowds in cities such as London, where tens of thousands have repeatedly taken to the streets, calling for a ceasefire in the besieged territory.

In the United States, university campuses have become central to pro-Palestine protests, with students staging walkouts, sit-ins, and rallies demanding divestment from companies linked to the Israeli regime and greater support for Palestinian rights.
