Tunisia has expressed its support for the path of the League of Parliamentarians for Al-Quds to promote the Palestinian cause in various countries of the world by addressing the parliaments whose governments do not recognize the Palestinian state to persuade them to change their positions to support Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa.

   The Speaker of the People’s Assembly Mohammed Al-Nasser said during a meeting with a delegation from the Association that the Palestinian issue is deep within the conscience of the Tunisian people, and Jerusalem brings together all Arabs and unite all believers in the right of peoples to self-determination and universal human rights.

   Hamid bin Abdullah al-Ahmar, President of the the League of parliamentarians for Al-Quds said that the Association relies on Tunisia’s support for its programs based on legal advocacy of the Palestinian cause through legislation and laws passed in the Arab and Islamic national parliaments, and through conducting awareness activities in various Arab, Islamic and international countries such as forums and conferences.
