Youth Intifada Coalition announces start of events of Jerusalem Week

Palestinian Youth Intifada Coalition on Saturday evening announced the start of the events of the Jerusalem Week for the support of Jerusalem and the Islamic and Christian holy sites.

The coalition called on the Palestinian young people in Jerusalem to intensify their presence in the Aqsa mosque in order to prevent the Israeli soldiers and settlers from entering its courtyards, and to confront all the Israeli plans to Judaize Jerusalem and the holy sites.

It announced in a statement on Saturday evening that next Monday will be a day of anger against the settlements in all the cities of the West Bank, and called on the Palestinian youths and students of universities and schools to close all roads leading to these settlements, and to rally at all military checkpoints in the West Bank cities.

The Youth Intifada Coalition confirmed that dozens of foreign peace activists decided to participate in the activities of Monday considering that the settlement activity is a clear violation of all international conventions and resolutions according to which Israel must remove the settlements as they harm the Palestinians in the occupied West Bank cities.

It stressed that its popular activities will continue and that “the occupation will pay for its persistent aggression against our people”, and called on all the people and factions to participate in the popular uprising against the occupier.
