The Army of Israel bombed the headquarters of the General Federation of Palestinian unions (Pgftu) in the city of Gaza. The headquarters of the Pgftu provided crucial services [to the whole population], including a kindergarten for 380 children and a bakery that served many families. It is the third time that the general headquarters of the Pgftu It undergoes such a destruction, the previous attacks had occurred during the Israeli bombing of Gaza in 2014.
Beyond the main building, three locations were destroyed Pgftu In the Al-Riosal and Via Yarmouk district. The attack hit, beyond the buildings, the means of subsistence and the rights of Palestinian workers. However, Palestinian workers remain still on their positions: We will persevere in our struggle for justice and dignity.
While we prepare to celebrate the Palestinian earth day March 30th and the anniversary of the Great return march of 2018 , We continue to forcefully ask the unions and workers of everything The world to stay by our side. We ask all the people of awareness of ending the complicity with the crimes of Israel, a begin with the immediate cessation of the weapon trade.
Both the Earth Day that the commemorations of the Great return march they have a profound meaning for our people, because they remember the our long struggle for the justice and the realization of ours inalienable rights. In the face of the Israeli genocide and attempts of ethnic cleaning in Gaza, it is essential to reaffirm the centrality of the right to return for all Palestinians. Most of the Palestinians, including those of Gaza, are refugees, and their right Upon returning to its original houses, it remains at the center of the struggle Palestinian.
While we prepare for these commemorations, we are faced with the Streeting situation of Gaza. The uninterrupted bombings and the intentional hungry tactics of Israel reveal nature genocida of his aggression, and unload on workers the heavier consequences. The forced evacuation of the Palestinians from the northern area of Gaza, together with the indiscriminate attacks Against displaced people and vital infrastructures, they are a clear attempt ethnic cleaning, a continuation of the Nakba of 1948.
We take note of the declarations and actions of the trade union movement in response to the initial appeal of the Palestinian unions in October And We pay homage to all those who have lined up alongside the Palestinian people. These acts of solidarity, both with the words and with the actions, they are in continuity with the great tradition of union internationalism. However, it is necessary to do more: during the Earth Day We ask for an intensification of actions to end the genocide. It is essential to undermine Not only the sale and financing of weapons in Israel , but also the transport of these weapons and other key materials used by the Israeli army To impose his brutal and illegal siege.
We ask workers and unions of the whole world to mobilize for the Earth Day 2024 through:
- The refusal of participation in the production and transport of weapons destined a/or from Israel; interrupting the logistics of the operations military of Israel, we can prevent his ability to exercise Further violence against our people.
- The clash with the complicity of the governments that perpetuate Israel's aggression . This includes the dispute of the release of licenses for the sale of weapons, and protests at defense and foreign ministries. THE governments must be held responsible for their role in facilitate the genocide of Israel.
- The intensification of all effective trade union actions – Passing motions, agitating in workplaces, organizing education sessions and networking.
Despite the horror of the genocide perpetrated by Israel and his daily crimes against the Palestinians, we cannot sell to Despair nor deviate our attention [from this]. In reverse, To celebrate this historic day for the Palestinian people in the our liberation struggle, we must renew our commitment to remain united as workers against injustice.
