The National Gathering of Palestinian Tribes, Clans, and Families launched a community campaign in the Gaza Strip aimed at promoting civil peace, establishing the sanctity of using weapons, and criminalizing resorting to them in resolving family disputes. The campaign includes visits to the councils of major families in the Strip. Head of the gathering, Dr. Alaa al-Din al-Aklouk, said in a press statement that the campaign received widespread welcome and interaction reflecting an awareness of the danger of weapons in internal conflicts and the necessity of resorting to law. Al-Aklouk praised the stance of the "Al-Salmi" family, which refrained from using weapons or opening fire following the death of one of its sons, considering their position a responsible model that prevents the expansion of the cycle of violence and revenge. The campaign primarily targets families who have lost sons in previous incidents. Al-Aklouk warned of the danger of leniency with the use of weapons outside the framework of the law and the threat it poses to community security. He called on the relevant authorities to apply maximum legal penalties against those involved and enforce judicial rulings against perpetrators of premeditated murder to achieve deterrence and preserve civil peace.
