“Palestinian shops and public institutions, including universities, across the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem were closed as people took to the streets to protest against a new Israeli law that imposes the death penalty for Palestinians convicted of deadly attacks.”

“Hundreds of people gathered on Wednesday to march in Ramallah against the law backed by Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, chanting slogans condemning the law and calling on the international community to reverse the law’s passage.”

“Most shops in the cities of Hebron, Ramallah, and Nablus were closed with their shutters down at midday, journalists with the AFP news agency reported.”
