The Galway Palestine Solidarity Campaign and the NUI Galway Palestine Solidarity Society, in conjunction with other groups and individuals, will hold a demonstration tomorrow, 8th December, at 6pm at the Spanish Arch in Galway City in protest at Donald Trump’s decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and to situate the United States embassy in Israel there. Members of the public are welcome to bring and display any Palestinian flags they may have.

This protest shall give the people of Galway City an opportunity to demonstrate their solidarity with the Palestinian people, particularly those in Jerusalem. It will allow Galway citizens to register their firm opposition to this reckless and immoral act by Donald Trump, as well as the broader colonialist and imperialist actions of the Israeli state, which continues to flout international law in its crimes against the Palestinian people.
