The Palestinian Authority's ruling Fatah movement is set to organize rallies across the West Bank on Monday in protest against "the Israeli occupation's punitive procedures."
The protests come as the Palestinian leadership submitted a draft resolution at the UN Security Council asking to end the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land by 2017.
In a statement Fatah has been disseminating in the past few days, the movement urged all its supporters to join the rallies in their districts.
The statement highlighted that protests and different aspects of popular resistance are meant to show opposition to the "occupation which steals Palestinian tax revenues."
In addition, the protests are attempts to support the Palestinian leadership in its political efforts to end the Israeli occupation.
The statement has called upon demonstrators to assemble at noon in central points in each West Bank district.
The goals of the protests announced in the Fatah statement include support to the political efforts at an international level, escalating popular resistance against the Israeli occupation, urging the Palestinian people to embrace a far-reaching boycott of Israel and to organize as many popular resistance activities as possible against the Israeli occupation.
