Palestine supporters urge Rhondda Cynon Taf councillors to support a ceasefire in Gaza
Palestine Solidarity Campaign activists lobby a Rhonnda Cynon Taf council meeting, July 17, 2024

PALESTINIAN supporters lobbied Rhondda Cynon Taf (RCT) councillors ahead of a full council meeting today, urging them to support a ceasefire in Gaza and divestment from Israel.

RCT Palestine Solidarity Campaign members organised the rally after the council decided not to debate a motion on Gaza at its July meeting.

Local PSC chair Andrew Draper said: “It’s enormously frustrating that bureaucracy prevents locally elected councillors from debating and voting on one of the most urgent matters of the day: that of a genocide being perpetrated in Gaza by the Israeli state and its enablers.
