NEWS SUMMARY
Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem observed a general strike and protested a new Israeli law that imposes the death penalty for Palestinians convicted of deadly attacks. The Fatah party called for the strike, which saw businesses and institutions close, while demonstrators marched against the law, which critics argue creates a harsher legal track for Palestinians.
