GLASGOW has become the latest local authority to announce it will fly the Palestinian flag in a move that has been denounced as extremely “divisive”.
Leaders declared the flag will fly above the City Council chambers tomorrow to show solidarity with those affected by the recent conflict in Gaza.
The authority is the sixth to make the political statement which comes as a three-day ceasefire in the Middle East enters its final hours.
Councillor Sadie Docherty, Lord Provost of Glasgow, said that the Council had written to the Mayor of Bethlehem, Ms Vera Baboun, to offer Glasgow’s support.
She said: “Glasgow is home to many friends of Palestine and this is a deeply distressing time for them.
“They represent a variety of ethnicities, political persuasions, faiths and none. However they are united by a common desire to support the Palestinian people.
“In solidarity with Bethlehem and Palestine, Glasgow City Council will raise the Palestinian flag on Friday 8th August. We hope that peace can be found to ensure the human rights for the people of Palestine.”
