JERUSALEM: Israeli soldiers, who are against serving in the Palestinian territories, have united in a new movement 'The Courage to Refuse' and plan to hold a big demonstration next weekend at the Gaza crossing.


The movement is supported by dozens of soldiers, airforce reserve pilots who signed a letter of protest last month and five reservists of the elite Chief-of-Staff special forces commando unit who have recently declared their refusal to serve in the territories, a media report said on Friday.

Three groups of conscientious objectors to work together

Three organizations of Israel Defense Forces reservists who refuse to serve in the territories are expected to join forces and work together.

The announcement from the groups - signatories of "The Courage to Refuse" letter, which was signed by officers and soldiers refusing to serve in the territories, signatories of the pilots' letter, who refuse to participate in attempts to assassinate senior wanted men in the Gaza Strip and West Bank, and the 13 reservist soldiers and officers in the IDF's elite Sayeret Matkal unit also refusing to serve in the territories - is expected to take place at a joint demonstration the three movements are planning at the Kissufim junction on Friday.
