Bethlehem – PNN – The World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) announced today its international campaign for the recognition of a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders.

A statement released by the organization called for ‘the end of the Israeli occupation and the barbarity of the Israeli’s army forces’ [sic].

The campaign will demand an end to settlement activities by the Israeli government, the release of ‘imprisoned Palestinians and other political prisoners’ in Israeli prisons as well as the honouring of Palestinian refugees’ Right of Return.

The WFTU also called for the demolition of the separation wall in Jerusalem, although no mention was made of the rest of the wall’s length.
