Following the announcement of the establishment of the United Workers’ Front for the Defence of the Palestinian People on September 22, 2024, the Front convened its first meeting with a warm, enthusiastic, and revolutionary spirit, attended by a large majority of comrades on Tuesday, October 15. Alas, due to the ongoing war in the region, especially in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and Lebanon, and the communication issues, we were unable to have all the comrades present.
The agenda of this meeting included structural and practical programs, as well as outlining and election of the executive body of the Workers’ Front. After the opening part of the session, participants emphasised on the necessity of seriously advancing activities in light of the ongoing war conditions and the daily crimes, brutality, and killings perpetrated by the occupying and the fascist Israeli state.
After extensive and fruitful discussions regarding the working methods of the Front, internal regulations, and immediate practical programs, it was decided to call the founding body of the Workers’ Front as the Central Council, and the executive body of the Front as the Central Office.
To facilitate and expedite the work of the Front, the following 11 comrades were elected to the Central Office: Samir Adel (Iraq), Mohammad Aloush (Palestine), Azam Al-Samadi (Jordan), Khaled Hajmohammadi (Iran), Mohammad Kamel (Tunisia), Osta Mehdi (Kurdistan, Iraq), Amer Abdullah (Palestine), Samira Bouhiyeh (Morocco), Raja Kassab (Morocco), Hassan Al-Haimouti (Morocco), and Kheirieh Bounaja (Algeria).
There was a marked political cohesion and a passionate atmosphere in the meeting, with participants insisting on moving forward with optimism on the success and achievement of the goals for which the United Workers’ Front for Defence of the Palestinian People was established, intent on creating an international workers’ front to confront imperialist states and strengthen the position of the working class.
