The ‘Struggle’ Coordination, on Sunday, organised a protest in front of the US embassy in Tunisia, condemning the “American crimes against the Palestinian people in Gaza” and demanding the closure of the US embassy in Tunisia and the expulsion of the ambassador.

Mohamed Sallami, coordinator of the ‘Struggle’ coordination, told TAP that it was necessary for the Tunisian parliament to reopen the debate on the law criminalising normalisation in Tunisia.

He pointed out that a number of academics in Tunisia are engaged in cultural normalisation with the Zionist entity under the silence of the state.

He said the slogan “normalisation is a great betrayal” raised by President Kais Saied can only be translated through the enactment of a law that effectively criminalises normalisation and attempts at normalisation.

He added that protest in front of the US embassy in Tunisia aimed to pressure the American decision that contributes to the annihilation of the Palestinian people in Gaza and criticised what they called
the complicity of several Arab regimes with the Zionist entity.

Sallami pointed out that “the option of the gun is the choice of the peoples fighting for the liberation of their land, and the Palestinian people have proved that they will not compromise for the liberation of their land from the last Zionist soldier”.

He called on the Tunisian people not to normalise the scenes of blood and body parts strewn in Gaza, confirming that the coordination will continue to work to mobilise the streets and send messages of support to the Palestinians.

The protesters raised slogans calling for the expulsion of the US and French ambassadors, pointing out that France and the United States, in addition to Britain and the European Union, are complicit in the crime that has exceeded all humanitarian limits in Gaza.

Today’s protest is the second to be organised by the “Coordination of the Struggle” in December, with the participation of representatives of political parties such as the Democratic Patriots’ Unified Party, t
he Popular Current and the Echaab Movement, as well as other nationalist political currents in Tunisia.
