Derry IPSC announces general election hustings for Palestine

The Derry branch of the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC) is planning to hold a hustings event focused on the issue of Palestine.

The event will take place at 7.00pm on June 25 in St Columb’s Hall, bringing together candidates from all the political parties standing in the Foyle constituency. 

The hustings will be chaired by the esteemed journalist and author Darach McDonald, who will guide the discussion on how the next MP for Foyle will address and support the cause of Palestine.

DIPSC have sent individual invitations to all the candidates from the political parties who are standing for election in the Foyle constituency. 

The hustings will be an important opportunity for a robust and informative debate and the DIPSC hope that party candidates from across the political spectrum will attend. 

The Derry IPSC is committed to raising awareness and fostering support for the rights of the Palestinian people.

The huge mobilisations for Palestine across the Foyle constituency shows that the Israeli war in Gaza is a major concern for voters of this region. 

The DIPSC firmly believe that Palestine is the most important issue in this election. 

This will be a unique opportunity for those seeking election to address the people of Derry on where they stand in relation to how the Palestinian cause can be furthered. 

Members of the press are welcome to attend, and we encourage the public to join us in what promises to be a compelling and significant event.
