International Solidarity Movement

For immediate release

The Israeli Occupation Army has threatened to blow up the
Presidential compound in Ramallah where many Palestinian officials including the Palestinian President Yasser Arafat are besieged since few days.

As a reaction and expression of protest to this Israeli offensive, peaceful mass marches went out in several Palestinian areas including, Nablus, Tulkarem, Ramallah, Askar, Gaza Jenin and Bethlehem to protest this offensive.

These marches has been shot at by the Israeli Army and turned into clashes. Reports say that there are around 50 injuries, at the moment all over the West Bank and one killed in Balata refugee camp, at least four of them are in a clinical death situation. (The injuries are mainly in Tulkarem, Jenin, Ramallah, and Balata)

This is a clear violation of International Law to be added to the
serial of violations that has been committed by the Israeli
occupation against the Palestinian people.

Israel has thus planted the last nail in the coffin of the Peace Process. As long as there is someone like Sharon in power occupation with continue, and thus, people from both nations are going to die on daily basis and this has to stop immediately.
