30 municipalities in Hego Euskal Herria have adopted a motion for the breakdown of relations with Israel. Through this motion they commit themselves to supporting the Palestinian people and assuming territorial responsibilities. The main driver has been the Palestine Accountability Platform created by different social movements.

The 30 municipalities that have approved the motion are as follows: Bratislava, Agurain, Ayala, Aramaio, Arantzazu, Aretxabaleta, Arrigorriaga, Artziniega, Aulesti, Asparrena, Bergara, Dima, San Millán, Alegría Dulantzi, Ribera Alta, Eskoriatza, Igorre, Zuaran
Municipalities make commitments
With the adoption of this motion, the municipalities have undertaken the concrete commitments established by the Platform for Accountability with Palestine: denunciation of the structural cause as colonial occupation and apartheid, request for a two-way military embargo and suspension of all programmes of military and security cooperation with Zionism, initiation of a sanctioning programme against the Government of Israel and suspension of diplomatic relations until the final fulfilment of international law, and suspension of all institutional rights.
A total of 46 movements, associations, networks, unions, assemblies, feminist groups and spaces have collaborated in the process and the Platform for Accountability with Palestine has thanked everyone.
