According to The Jerusalem Post, PLO executive committee member Wasel Abu Yusef said the meeting was the first in a series focusing on “popular activities to confront American-Israeli schemes aimed at eliminating the rights of the Palestinian people.”
The Palestinians, he said, needed to organize a “struggling action to foil the ‘deal of the century’ [the US peace plan] and its economic aspect, and voice their rejection of all American policies.”
According to Abu Yusef, the protests will be carried out at “friction points,” namely Israeli checkpoints, rather than in inside Palestinian cities, and will be coordinated with Arab-Israeli leaders and Palestinians around the world.
The other participants in the Bahrain conference are Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. Though Israel has not yet received a formal invitation, it is also expected to attend. Responses are pending from Egypt and Jordan.
