NEW DELHI, March 10 (KUNA) -- Kuwait Ambassador to India Sami Mohammad
Suleiman has taken part in a ceremony held at the Palestinian Embassy here to
prepare for the launch of the Indian leg of the Global March to Jerusalem,
scheduled to start Sunday.
"This march shows the growing international support for the Palestinian
cause and growing isolation of Israel," Ambassador Suleiman said at the
ceremony.
Suleiman praised the Arab-Indian relations and Indian historic support to
Palestinians and their rights.
"The international backing to Palestinians in this critical time is
essential," he said, adding that stability can't be achieved in the Middle
East without a just resolution to the Palestinian cause.
The ceremony was opened by Palestinian Ambassador here Adli Sadeq and
attended by a large number of Arab and non-Arab diplomats and prominent Indian
figures.
The Global March to Jerusalem (GMJ) is a groundbreaking new initiative that
is organizing non-violent civil resistance on 30th March 2012 in Palestine and
the four neighboring countries: Egypt, Lebanon Jordan and Syria.
The GMJ is comprised of a diverse coalition of Palestinian, Arab and
international activists who are united in the struggle to liberate the holy
city of Jerusalem from Israeli occupation.
The peaceful marchers will demand freedom for Jerusalem and its people, end
the Israeli policies of apartheid, ethnic cleansing and Judaization, all of
which harm the people, land and sanctity of Jerusalem.
International activists will participate in land caravans or fly directly
to one of the main sites for the march. In addition, mass protests will be
organized in front of Israeli embassies in the capitals of different
countries, or in the main public squares in the big cities of the world. (end)
