Palestinians lash out at Paris city hall for rejecting Israel boycot
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Palestinians accuse the Paris municipality of attacking freedom of expression and promoting Israel’s settlement policy after the assembly recently adopted two resolutions condemning attempts to boycott Israel.
“Condemning a legitimate and non-violent movement against apartheid racist policies… actively supports the ongoing colonization enterprise,” writes senior PLO official Saeb Erekat to Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo.
One of the resolutions says the City of Paris “opposes publicly all attempts to isolate Israel from the collective of nations,” and also reaffirms the French capital’s “commitment to the promotion of a peaceful solution to the Palestinian-Israel conflict.”
