The Derry Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC) organisation will host a public meeting with Palestinian author, journalist and campaigner Yousef Aljamal in the city.
The event will take place in St Columb's Hall, on Tuesday, April 21, at 7.00pm.
Dr Aljamal is the co-editor of a new book 'Displaced in Gaza' which allows us to hear direct testimony from Gaza and those living through the genocide perpetutated by the Israeli state.
These insights are particularly important as Netanyahu continues to block information from Gaza, despite what is supposed to be a ceasefire and has murdered hundreds of journalists with impunity since Oct 2023.
Yousef is the Gaza coordinator at the Palestine Activism Program at the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC). He is a refugee from Al-Nusierat refugee camp in the Gaza Strip and has received his PhD from Sakarya University in Turkey
Yousef will take part in a panel discussion on the situation in the middle east, Trump and Netanyahu's illegal war, the genocide and displacement now being perpetrated in Lebanon and the West Bank and the effect on the escalating effect on the world economy.
DIPSC Spokesperson Janine Mc Laughlin said: "The meeting will provide the opportunity for people to talk through why we need to continue to campaign against Israel’s determination to 'eliminate' Palestinians both in Gaza and the West Bank, as well as the ongoing BDS campaign and the anti war movement.
"A question and answer session will help people have their say in shaping the future activities of the IPSC locally.
Anyone wanting to get invovled can contact us on F/B, Instagram or by email on IPSC.DERRY@PROTON.ME"
