Leila Khaled reflects on her lifetime of resistance, the significance of October 7 for the global solidarity movement, and the way forward for Palestinian liberation.
Jordan has witnessed increasing popular protests expressing solidarity with Gaza and demanding an end to normalization with Israel. The Jordanian government has responded with an unprecedented crackdown on protests and free expression.
In recent weeks, journalists Sarah Wilkinson and Richard Medhurst, as well as Palestine Action co-founder Richard Barnard were all arrested under the the UK’s Terrorism Act. Critics say it is a direct attack on the Palestine movement.
Despite hundreds of arrests, Jordanian protesters keep coming out to demonstrate in front of the Israeli embassy in Amman. They are calling for an end to Jordan’s 1994 peace treaty with Israel in response to the genocide in Gaza.
