Over 200 organisations set to join 'Global Day of Action' for Palestine More than 200 organisations across the globe will be mobilising for mass pro-Palestine protests on Saturday, the Global Alliance for Palestine (GAFP) announced on Wednesday.  According to the statement, the organisations will "execute a synchronised Global Day of Action", and are set to include civil society groups, trade unions, student federations and human rights networks across 60 countries. The event is organised by GAFP alongside the Anti-Apartheid Movement (AAM) and SANED (Global Coalition against Occupation of Palestine). "As governments actively fund, arm, and protect Israel from any legal accountability, grassroots movements are refusing to allow this genocide to become normalised as the status quo," GAFP wrote.  It added that the event "marks a decisive shift, moving beyond symbolic protest toward direct civil intervention to shut down public complicity and demand systemic accountability for Israel’s war crimes and genocide".
