Tunisians Rally In Protest Against U.S. Mideast 'Peace' Plan

TUNIS, Feb 6 (NNN-TAP) – Hundreds of Tunisians, on Wednesday, marched in the centre of the capital Tunis, in protest of the newly unveiled U.S. Middle East peace plan.

The protesters include members of civil society, professional organisations and political parties, as well as, independent activists.

“Palestine is not and will never be for sale,” said Noureddine Taboubi, secretary-general of the Tunisian General Labour Union, organiser of the march.

“Al-Quds (Jerusalem) is the eternal capital of the Palestinian people,” he added.

Taboubi called for “criminalising all those who maintain relations with the Zionist entity and condemning all attempts to bring Israel closer to the Arab world.

On Jan 28 , U.S. President, Donald Trump, announced the peace plan in Washington, in the presence of Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.

The U.S. vision of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process includes annexing the disputed holy city of Jerusalem, as Israel’s undivided capital, while the Palestinian capital will cover areas on the outskirts of East Jerusalem.
