THE Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) calls on progressive movements across the world to demonstrate their solidarity with the Palestinian people in the current crisis. Our survival is at stake.
We call for an urgent re-affirmation of the UN resolutions, restoration of pre-1967 borders for a Palestinian state, beside the state of Israel, a sovereign state for all Palestinians with its capital in East Jerusalem and the right of return for refugees.
We do so because the people of Palestine face their most serious threat since 1967. Trump’s New Deal for Palestine is intended to end permanently any prospect of the implementation of UN resolutions and the fulfilment of the peace process begun in 1991.
