According to the platform, mobilizations and social collaboration against violence against the Palestinians have intensified over the past year. In this regard, he recalled that in the Basque Country there have been "successful" initiatives to denounce the Palestinian genocide. “Euskal Herria has contributed to placing the cry of Palestine in the world.” However, he stressed that Israel's "violence and impunity" "still have no limits". “We are witnessing one of the most cruel genocides that has ever happened.”

The group has recalled that over the past year 41,000 Palestinians have been killed and 70 per cent of the infrastructure in Gaza has been destroyed. "We are not going to allow anyone to occupy anyone's territory," they added, and they have called for peace and justice at an international level. "Dialogue and negotiation are key elements for the achievement of a just and lasting peace", he added.
