‘I’m mother of the martyr, who I pray will be the last one,’ says Iyad Halak’s mother at rally
“I am the mother of the martyr, who I pray will be the last martyr,” Iyad Halak’s mother says in a speech addressing thousands at a Fatah-organized rally in the West Bank against Israeli annexation plans.
“We must end the injustice. Jerusalem weeps from its heart from the racism and military policies of the occupation,” Halak says.
“As a teacher, I say, ‘Teach in your schools that we do not want war,'” Halak adds.
