JanuaryNelson Mandela’s Grandson: Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh plays a significant role defending Palestinian rights
AMMAN - Mr. Zweifel Mandela, the grandson
of the icon for the struggle against apartheid and oppression in the world, Mr.
Nelson Mandela, has expressed his deep thanks to the well-known Arab economist
HE Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh, founder and chairman of Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Global
(TAG.Global), for his unwavering support for the Palestinian cause, praising
his great role in defending the Palestinian people’s struggle for independence.
The “Global Campaign to Return to
Palestine” has recently hosted Dr.
Abu-Ghazaleh as a guest of honor at the 5th Global Convention of Solidarity
with Palestine, in recognition of his ongoing efforts to support and advocate
the just cause of Palestine at the Royal House of Mandela in Johannesburg,
South Africa. In his recorded speech then, Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh urged the conference to draft a statement honoring
freedom fighters from Palestine and other countries of the world who deserve to
be honored at the Royal House of Mandela.
Mr. Zweifel said, “I express my sincere
gratitude to Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh, and I am very honored to accept his kind
invitation to visit Jordan,” adding, “I am profoundly looking forward to our
collaboration as well as exploring various avenues for joint cooperation
dedicated to furthering the noble cause of Palestine.”
In addition, he reaffirmed his commitment
to engaging in fruitful discussions, promoting meaningful partnerships,
actively participating in initiatives that enhance the shared goal of
supporting the Palestinian cause, exchanging ideas, and developing strategies
that will positively strengthen the cooperative endeavors towards a just and
durable solution for the Palestinian cause.
In his message, Mr. Zweifel also
emphasized the importance of the noble goals and vision of justice shared
between Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh and Nelson Mandela. He pointed out that Nelson
Mandela, the world’s symbol of commitment to justice, showed great interest in
the Palestinian cause, and consistently urged people worldwide to unite in
support of the Palestinian people’s rights, much like Talal Abu-Ghazaleh,
today, who has firm position, as a hero from Palestine, in defending those
rights.
Mr. Zweifel added that Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh’s
efforts fall in line with the principles and values that Nelson Mandela upheld,
which advocated the dedication to justice, equality, and the goal of
establishing a world free of oppression and abuse. He went on to reiterate that
the ongoing struggle of the Palestinians is a source of deep inspiration to all
leaders all over the world.
