Gaza – Saba:
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) hailed the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions (LO)'s decision to impose a comprehensive boycott on the Israeli occupation, approved by an overwhelming 88% majority during its conference. The PFLP described the move as a "historic, courageous, and moral-political victory for Palestinian rights" and the struggle against occupation and apartheid.
the PFLP Statement:
- International Shift in Sentiment: The PFLP emphasized that this bold stance by one of Europe’s largest and most influential labor unions reflects a growing global backlash against Israel’s oppressive policies, genocidal crimes in Gaza and the West Bank, and systematic targeting of Palestinian society and economy.
- Strategic Labor Movement Role: The Front stressed the critical role of unions in grassroots pressure campaigns, urging an expansion of boycott efforts—particularly against institutions complicit in occupation, such as the Histadrut (Israel’s labor federation), which it labeled a "central pillar of colonial support."
- Call for Global Solidarity: The PFLP urged unions worldwide to follow Norway’s example, align with freedom, justice, and human rights, and actively support the Palestinian cause.
