More than 1000000 people including pro-Palestine activists media figures and academics have signed — within less than 20 hours — the “Palestine Charter” a document rejecting Arab states’ normalization of relations with the Israeli occupation state.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Bahrain’s foreign ministers signed on Tuesday a normalization agreement with Israel at the White House on Tuesday establishing full ties in violation of the Arab Peace Initiative.
The text of the charter — published on “charterofpalestine.com/campaign” — states: “Believing in the justice of the Palestinian cause and following my responsibility towards it I am honored to sign the Palestine Charter under which I affirm that Palestine is an occupied Arab state and its liberation is a duty.”
“The Zionist entity is an occupying and racist entity and a usurper of our Aqsa Mosque and the land of Palestine and all forms of normalization is a betrayal” the text reads further.
The charter has been endorsed by many pro-Palestine organizations including the BDS movement the Gulf Coalition Against Normalization and the Emirati League Against Normalization.
The hashtag #Palestine_Charter in Arabic is also circulating on Twitter condemning the US-brokered normalization deals.
