On Monday in the occupied West Bank, Palestinians rallied against Israel’s plan to annex the West Bank. Protesters also carried signs honouring George Floyd in a stand of solidarity with the anti-police-brutality uprising in the U.S. Dipto Paul Reports.
These protest followed similar actions across the occupied Palestinian Territories, and Israel, in recent days. Senator Bernie Sanders addressed crowds via video stream at a rally in Tel Aviv, telling protesters “annexation must be stopped”.
A mural of George Floyd was also painted on the separation wall with Israel in the West Bank city of Bethlehem
Mahmoud Abiedalla, who initiated the idea for the tribute mural said: “We paint on the apartheid wall that we are trapped under, as a message of solidarity with them and of solidarity with Black people who are in the United States that are oppressed, and where you can see racial discrimination between white and Black people.”
