Kites were flown across 11 cities in the Netherlands on Saturday in solidarity with children in Gaza. The events, organized by the Plant an Olive Tree Foundation, sought to draw attention to attacks on Gaza and protest Israeli threats of displacement and attacks against Palestinians over kites flown from the enclave that landed in Israeli settlements near the border. In Rotterdam, participants gathered at Noordereiland Square and flew kites in solidarity with children in Gaza. Children and adults decorated the kites with Palestinian flags and colors, as well as messages including “Free Palestine” and “Save Gaza.” Kites designed in the shape and colors of the Palestinian flag were also flown during the event. At the end of the demonstration, participants distributed leaflets to raise public awareness and provide information about the situation in Gaza. Anadolu
Two Israeli colonists attacked on Saturday the town of Turmus Ayya, northeast of Ramallah.
Awad Abu Samra, a member of the Turmus Ayya municipal council, told WAFA that two colonists riding an ATV entered the eastern part of the town, about 100 meters from where U.S Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, was during his tour of the town..
Ambassador Huckabee had visited Turmus Ayya and met with municipal representatives and several residents who hold US citizenship and who had been subjected to attacks by Israeli colonists.
In remarks, Huckabee described settler violence against US citizens in Turmus’ayya in the West Bank as “a form of terrorism.”
He added that residents of Turmus’ayya have “legitimate grievances” and that he had come to listen to them, stressing that “Israel must ensure the security and safety of Palestinian citizens in the West Bank.” WAFA
