Suspend diplomatic ties with Israel – Common Declaration
11.11.2023
A collective of unions and associations have launched a “Common Declaration” for an immediate end to diplomatic ties with Israel. Here is the two-line text of the statement. Anyone wanting to add their name or that of their organization – just contact any member of SOMALP (or of LALIT that is, itself a member of SOMALP). The list is being updated already.
Common Declaration
Our country must suspend diplomatic ties with Israel now!
This, if it happens everywhere, will make a ceasefire urgent and necessary, and will, therefore, save the lives of many Palestinian children, women and all people living in Gaza.
