#Palestinians across the occupied #WestBank observed a general strike on Wednesday in protest against a new Israeli law allowing the execution of prisoners, as international condemnation mounted.

#Fatah, the movement led by #PalestinianAuthority President #MahmoudAbbas, called for the strike, describing the legislation as a “dangerous escalation” against Palestinians.

“This criminal law will not break the will of our people or the determination of our prisoners, but will instead strengthen our resolve to continue the struggle for their freedom and legitimate rights,” it said in a statement.
