Peace groups come to the National Eisteddfod
RMT president Alex Gordon speaking at the Stop the War Cymru event at the Eisteddfod

PEACE groups took to the National Eisteddfod today to talk about the plight of the Palestinian people and the anti-war movement since the election of the Labour government.

RMT president Alex Gordon told the Stop the War Cymru meeting that the war in Gaza has escalated since Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s election, with attacks on Beirut in Lebanon and the assassination in Iran of the Hamas leader leading the peace negotiations with Israel.

“The Middle East is spinning out of control into a wider war and Benjamin Netanyahu’s only strategy to keep out of jail is to escalate the war,” he said.
