The International Union of Muslim Scholars (IUMS) has called for a global strike to demand an immediate ceasefire as Israel continues its attacks in the Gaza Strip, Anadolu Agency reports.

Ali Al-Qaradaghi, the Secretary-General of IUMS, emphasised the strike’s significance as a protest option, given the international community’s failure to stop the aggression in Gaza.

He said Muslims can contribute to the campaign’s success by inviting others to join the strike and conveying the message openly.

“I call on everyone to actively participate in (the) comprehensive strike, to stand together against injustice and oppression,” he said.
