General strike in occupied West Bank in response to Israel parliament passing death penalty law

A general strike took place in the Israeli-occupied West Bank on Wednesday after the Israeli parliament approved a measure that would impose the death penalty by hanging on Palestinians found guilty of killing Israelis. The law is scheduled to come into force within 30 days, but its implementation may be delayed due to ongoing litigation in Israel’s highest court.
