AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): The Palestinian Islamic resistance movement, Hamas, welcomed a resolution passed by the Chilean Senate against Israel.
The Chilean Senate last month approved a resolution calling on President Sebastian Pinera Echenique to adopt a law boycotting settlement goods and banning commercial activity with companies that operate in the occupied Palestinian territories.
The motion passed on 30 June with 29 votes in favor and six abstentions, and no votes were cast against the move.
The resolution also called on the government to promote legislation that would ban all Israeli settlement products; prohibit any company involved in the Israeli occupation from benefiting from any agreement or bid signed by Chile; apply tourism guidelines for Israel and Palestine that would not allow the promotion of trips to Israel using pictures of East Jerusalem al-Quds or Bethlehem “among other Palestinian cities”; forbid any kind of cooperation, including monetary, with the Israeli colonization of occupied Palestine; and ensure that no tax benefits will be afforded to any organization operating in Chile if it is involved in the occupation of Palestine.
Hamas spokesman Hazem Qasim on Monday hailed the move, calling for worldwide boycott of Israeli products and rejection of Israeli plans to annex parts of occupied Palestinian territories.
