A delegation of the Secretariat of the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU), led by General Secretary Pambis Kyritsis and Secretariat member Artur Sequeira, arrived in Palestine, marking the start of an official solidarity visit.
The delegation, accompanied by cadres of the WFTU, will carry out a series of meetings and activities during the visit. These will include meetings with Palestinian trade unions, encounters with workers from various sectors, and meetings with representatives of workers’ and popular organizations, as well as country officials. Through these engagements, the delegation aims to directly assess the conditions faced by Palestinian workers, especially in the landscape of the ongoing genocide carried out by the murderous state of Israel.
This visit reaffirms in practice the unwavering and longstanding solidarity of the WFTU with the Palestinian people and their just struggle. It is part of the broader, consistent landscape of WFTU initiatives and actions in support of Palestine, including international campaigns, mobilizations, statements, and concrete solidarity measures adopted by its affiliates across all regions.
The WFTU reiterates its firm position in support of the rights of the Palestinian people, including the right to live and work in freedom, dignity, and peace, and condemns all policies and practices that violate workers’ rights and international law. The presence of the WFTU delegation in Palestine constitutes a clear message of internationalist solidarity and a commitment to continue standing alongside Palestinian workers and their trade unions.
