“Stop now the slaughter of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip by the murderous state of Israel is the demand” is emphasized in rally held in the Freedom Park in Athens.

“We are fighting for the peace of the peoples. To end the Israeli occupation. For a free Palestine on the borders of 1967 with East Jerusalem as its capital” was heard from the rally’s loudspeakers.

The gathered denounce the Greek government “which abstained from the UN vote on the Jordanian resolution for a humanitarian truce in Gaza”. A large delegation of the KKE, led by members of the Politburo, is present. Palestinian Authority ambassador Youssef Dorhom is also in attendance.

The following message from the General Union of Palestinian Workers was read at the gathering: “We thank PAME and the Trade Unions for their practical solidarity and support for the workers of the people of Palestine. Solidarity gives us strength to continue the struggle until victory. Long live the struggles of the peoples,” the message reads.

The rally also welcomes the Palestinian Parish, the Palestinian House and their members.

The rally started from Freedom Square at the Concert Hall and ends at the Israeli embassy. Due to the rally, at this time Vasilissis Sofias is closed on both streams, while Kifisias is gradually expected to be closed, at least on the rise.
