The Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions National Committee condemned a planned trip organised for 37 Palestinian orphans, who lost their parents during the recent Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, to Israel.
In a statement, the committee said the “suspicious trip” included visits to several Israeli settlements around Gaza and described it as nothing but a failed public relations stunt aimed at covering up Israel’s crimes against the Palestinian people. The trip was cancelled after Hamas stopped the orphans from leaving the Strip.
The visit was organised by Yoel Marshak of the Kibbutz Movement, a versed Zionist organisation which has long been involved in the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people and uprooting them from their land, the statement said.
The committee condemned Candle for Peace and Brotherhood, a Palestinian organisation believed to have ties to the right-wing Likud Party.
The statement concluded by calling to stop all normalisation of formal and informal ties with Israel and to support the Palestinian people in the besieged Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including Jerusalem, the Negev and Galilee as well as inside Israel.
