Gernika-Palestine calls for a cacerolada on 5 September because of the worsening situation in Gaza
The Gernika-Palestine initiative has convened for5 September, at 7 p.m., in front of the municipalities of Hego Euskal Herria, "a cacerolada protestin the faceof the worsening situation in Gaza and the inaction of Europe ", calling on all the social partners and the Basque society in general to continue to show solidarity with Palestine and to" defend justice and peace ".
"Once all the infrastructure in Gaza has been systematically destroyed, Israel continues to exterminate the Palestinian population and also to die of hunger and thirst, systematically attacking fallen hospitals and killing hundreds of media workers who transmit this genocide to the world," he added.
For the members of the initiative, it is time to force Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu to "declare an immediate ceasefire, embark on the path of negotiation, withdraw from Gaza, not hinder urgent humanitarian aid, and rebuild infrastructure to combat malnutrition and ensure decent minimum living conditions."
It also notes that the European Union and its member states have instruments to "significantly influence" the position of the Israeli Government. "The EU and its member states are Israel's preferred trading partner and one of its main arms suppliers."
They have therefore called for action by breaking trade relations and putting in place sanctions to isolate Israel. "Not to do so is to despise ourselves before the world and portray ourselves before future generations," they add.
