Protesters say ‘no concrete plan’ possible without Palestinian participation
Dozens of people are gathered outside the United States Institute for Peace, where the Board of Peace meeting is under way, to protest Israel’s participation amid the exclusion of Palestinian voices.
A mobilisation of police nearby indicated Trump’s motorcade will “soon be on the move”, Al Jazeera’s Manuel Rapolo reported from the scene, as protesters chanted “Gaza is not for sale” and “Free Palestine”.
“The underlying narrative here is that without discussing the right to self-determination of the Palestinian people, there is no concrete plan that could be put in place”, Rapolo said.
The board has repeatedly offered its vision for a Gaza development plan. But without the voice from “any sort” of Palestinian authority, protesters are adamant that “there can’t be a road to peace”, Rapolo said.
