COSATU statement on the Global Campaign against apartheid Israel for war crimes – advancing working class internationalism and concrete solidarity
8 November 2023
The Congress of South African Trade Unions(COSATU) recognises that the Palestinian struggle has entered a critical phase. Israel is intensifying the colonial annexation of Palestinian lands and committing horrifying crimes of war. This calls for a more decisive, effective and concrete coordination of solidarity and unity in action.
COSATU reaffirms its unwavering solidarity to the cause of the Palestinian people amidst the unfolding genocide in Gaza and throughout Palestine.
Years of tireless campaigning and practical solidarity by COSATU and the working class as a whole has contributed massively to the rolling international solidarity movement against the apartheid state of Israel. COSATU is re-energised further to intensify resolute internationalism against barbarism, genocide and war crimes.
COSATU is working with all solidarity forces to reposition the Global Palestinian solidarity campaign towards more effectiveness and impact.
