World Peace Council

On September 16th, at Largo Camões in Lisbon, we once again took to the streets to demand an end to the genocide and continued solidarity with Palestine.

As part of the solidarity campaign with the Palestinian people, which will run until November 29th, with demonstrations in Lisbon and Porto, the organizing organizations once again demanded an end to Israel's crimes, the bombings of Gaza City and neighboring countries, the recognition of the State of Palestine, and unrestricted access for humanitarian aid!

The Portuguese Council for Peace and Cooperation (CPPC) strongly condemns Israel's attack on the capital of Qatar, Doha. This is yet another violation of international law committed by the State of Israel, bombing yet another sovereign country—after Lebanon, Syria, Iran, and Yemen—which deserves the deepest condemnation.

The World Peace Council expresses its deep concern and opposition to the recent developments around the “US Peace Deal” over Palestine supervised and imposed by the US administration which comes in clear continuation of the “US plan of the century”. This “new” plan is converting the Palestinian Gaza Strip into a de facto US protectorate leaving the Israeli occupation over Palestine untouched, especially the more than 50% of the territory of the Gaza Strip.

The U.S. Peace Council condemns the U.S. government’s escalating wars abroad and its deepening war against working-class, Black, Brown, Indigenous, immigrant, and other oppressed and vulnerable communities here at home. The same imperialist system that wages aggression against Venezuela and Iran intensifies repression in our neighborhoods, workplaces, and communities across the United States. These are not separate wars — they are fronts of a global imperialist system in decline, struggling to maintain its exploitative, unilateral hegemony in the face of a rising multipolar world.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that he would destroy Gaza City and expel its population, imposing a new and unacceptable forced displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, a step that is part of Israel's policy of genocide and colonization against the Palestinian people.

The Portuguese Council for Peace and Cooperation (CPPC) strongly condemns this new escalation of Israel's aggression against the Palestinian people and calls for solidarity from the peace and solidarity movement and the Portuguese people with Palestine.

The Portuguese Council for Peace and Cooperation (CPPC) vehemently condemns and demands an end to the US administration's obstruction of the participation of representatives of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority in the UN General Assembly session, taking place this month in New York.

The Portuguese Council for Peace and Cooperation (CPPC) joins the concern and condemnation, already widely expressed by organizations and individuals around the world, regarding the deployment of United States naval forces near the Venezuelan coast in the Caribbean.

The Portuguese Council for Peace and Cooperation (CPPC) denounces and vehemently repudiates the currently ongoing Israeli military operations to occupy Gaza City, as well as the plans to expand settlements, isolating East Jerusalem from the West Bank.
