At the political level United States President Barack Obama and the United Nations Security Council have both called for an unconditional ceasefire from Israel on Monday. Their plan is based on an Egyptian proposal that would put a temporary end to ‘hostilities’ and would open talks about the future of the Gaza Strip. This includes possibly opening Gaza’s borders.
In the West Bank clashes continued between invading Israeli troops and Palestinian protesters in solidarity with Gaza. Clashes were reported in Hebron, Bethlehem, Ramallah, Nablus and Jenin.
One civilians was injured by Israeli troops’ gunfire in Hebron city. Last week Israeli soldiers killed at least 10 protesters in the West Bank.
Moreover, on Sunday late at night and Monday at dawn 18 Palestinians were kidnapped by Israeli forces across the West Bank, in addition to five from the Jerusalem area.
