From the Palestine-alliance.org website, “In a historic gathering, the Global Alliance for Palestine (GAFP) held its inaugural conference on Saturday 26 July in London, bringing together delegates from 25 countries representing, grassroots solidarity movements and campaigns as well as political and community leaders from around the world, all committed to strengthening the international struggle for Palestinian freedom, justice, and national liberation.
The launch of the GAFP comes at a critical and urgent moment, as Israel intensifies its genocidal actions and starvation tactics against the people of Gaza. In response, the alliance will serve as a central coordinating body, bringing together global efforts, building unity to confront Israel’s atrocities and advance the cause of Palestinian self-determination.
The conference featured prominent speakers who stressed the urgent need for unified strategy and coordinated global action. The opening and closing plenaries featured Chair of the GAFP Steering Committee, Rt. Hon. Jeremy Corbyn MP alongside Steering Committee member Dr Mustafa Barghouti (Palestine). The Conference heard video messages of support from Steering Committee members Gerry Adams (former president of Sinn Féin), Prof Yanis Varoufakis (Greece), Hon. Peter David (Grenada), Ronnie Kasrils (South Africa) and Varsha Gandikota-Nellutla (India). There were also important contributions from Revd. Frank Chikane (South Africa) and Deputy Angelo Bonelli (Italy) [. . .]” click here.
