The Barbados-based Caribbean Against Apartheid in Palestine (CAAP) association has condemned as unprovoked, the recent flare-up in confrontations in the vicinity of one of the holiest places of prayer for muslims, the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem.
Co-organisers of the association, Lalu Hanuman and Suleiman Bulbulia, also told a media conference on Monday that Barbados should join other Caribbean countries and the United Nations, which have recognised Palestine as a state.
“We are highlighting and are very concerned about the recent escalation of the violence in Jerusalem directed towards the Palestinians by the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF),” said Bulbulia, who is treasurer of CAAP.
