Protesters hold signs and Palestinian flag during a rally against Israel plans to annex parts of the West Bank, in Tel Aviv, Israel
SOCIALISTS cannot “stand idly by” and let Israel annex the West Bank like it annexed East Jerusalem in 1980, Palestine Solidarity Campaign’s Hugh Lanning told activists at the weekend.
A meeting hosted jointly by Labour left festival groups Arise and Labour & Palestine called for action to prevent the annexation or to ensure Israel faces serious consequences if it goes ahead.
Unite’s Adrian Weir, who is a London representative on Labour’s national policy forum, said Labour members have until tomorrow to make submissions on the issue on the forum’s website.
