In a statement, organizers invited Dominicans and especially the Arab and Palestinian community in the nation to join at 17:00, local time, to this great vigil in solidarity with Palestinians, who for 75 years have resisted the violation of their rights by the State of Israel.

They stated that Palestine is presently suffering a bestial aggression with ongoing bombing at Gaza Strip.

Furthermore, the Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh has condemned Israel´s deadly attack as “ethnic cleansing.”

Organizations pointed out that various entities strongly condemned from Palestine that Israel has not respected any infrastructure in order to bomb a school or refugee areas assisted by the United Nations.
