Arab community leaders and lawmakers in Israel have launched a three-day hunger strike to protest the ongoing starvation crisis in Gaza, dismissing recent Israeli aid policy changes as insufficient and a public relations move. The strike follows a large demonstration in Sakhnin and precedes further planned protests, including one outside the United States Embassy Branch Office in Tel Aviv. At a press conference in Jaffa, organizers criticized Israeli authorities for blocking independent aid efforts and accused the government and media of downplaying the humanitarian crisis. Speakers called for an immediate end to the war, the release of hostages, and praised international moves toward Palestinian state recognition, while expressing solidarity across communities.
