WFTU says: "Israel out!"

The World Federation of Trade Unions has called upon the 
United Nations General Assembly, which is currently in session, 
to take effective measures to secure the immediate implementation 
of UN resolutions calling for the withdrawal of all Israeli 
troops from the occupied Arab territories in Palestine, Syrian 
Golan and Shabba farms of South Lebanon.

In a statement issued on September 23, the WFTU strongly 
protested against the attempt by the US Administration to divert 
attention from this central issue and against the interference in 
the internal affairs of Lebanon and Syria. The independent and 
sovereign Government of Lebanon and all its institutions have 
rejected the resolution moved by US and France in the UN Security 
Council in this regard.

The Israeli threats and US pressures against Syria and Lebanon 
and a number of Arab countries will aggravate the situation and 
increase the violence and war, threatening the security of the 
people of the region and the world.

The WFTU called upon its affiliates and friends all over the 
world to:

* further strengthen their solidarity with the workers and people 
of Palestine, Syria and Lebanon;

* insist that Member States of the UN take effective measures to 
secure the immediate withdrawal of Israel from all occupied Arab 
territories;

* put an end to the pressures and aggressive acts of USA and 
Israel;

* stop the practice of hegemony in the Middle East and the world;

* act for peace and security.
