Odeh noted that the move reflects the global support for the just demands of the Palestinian people. He denounced the West’s double standards regarding the Palestinian issue in comparison with the response to the crisis in Ukraine.

The campaign official said that the formal statement will be submitted to the meeting of the Human Rights Council at its 49th session in Geneva, which will address the issue of the Israeli occupation and the state’s ongoing attacks on the Palestinian people.
A letter will also be sent to EU representatives as well as embassies and representative offices in Palestine.
