Rally to protest at Trump’s Jerusalem decision

-

SUPPORTERS of the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign will hold a vigil at Hyde Bridge, Sligo, on New Year’s Eve, Sunday 31st December at 2pm. The event is one of many being organised to express solidarity with the Palestinia­n people and to protest at U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to recognise Israeli-occupied Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Calling for support for the vigil, Ms Aine Daly said: “The decision of the Trump Administra­tion to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem shows flagrant disregard for internatio­nal law, Palestinia­n rights and internatio­nal opinion. It has inflamed tensions across the Middle East.”
