BRUSSELS, 26 Feb. - (ANA) - DiEM25 will participate in the People’s Congress for The Hague Group, taking place in Amsterdam on 7 March 2026. The Congress will bring together international figures, social movements, trade unions, parliamentarians, and cultural workers to strengthen coordinated action to end complicity in Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people and to uphold international law. 

 

Among the prominent participants will be Greta Thunberg, Omar Barghouti, Jeremy Corbyn and Francesca Albanese.

 

Convened by the Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC) and endorsed by a broad range of Palestinian and international partners, the gathering marks one year since the formation of The Hague Group, a bloc of states committed to advancing concrete measures to end impunity for Israel’s crimes.

 

DiEM25 will be represented by a delegation of two members: Amir Kiyaei, Policy Director, and Davide Castro, Communications Director. Their participation reflects DiEM25’s commitment to strengthening a resistance network across borders, linking struggles, and helping transform solidarity into coordinated and effective action in defence of international law and human rights. 

 

 

 

 

“This Congress is about turning shared values into coordinated action. Across Europe and beyond, people are demanding that international law be applied consistently and without exception. DiEM25 is here to contribute to building durable cooperation between movements and political forces, so that solidarity with Palestine becomes organised, effective, and impossible for governments to ignore.”

 

The Congress will focus on building the critical mass of organised people power needed to enforce states’ legal obligations — closing ports to weapons, stopping shipments, ending public and corporate complicity, and advancing accountability across courts, contracts, campuses, and communities.

 

 

 

 

“For seventy-seven years, the Palestinian people have endured dispossession and apartheid. Today, genocide is sustained by boardrooms and bureaucracies — by ports that receive weapons, insurers that underwrite shipments, and governments that refuse to act.

 

“The Hague Group marked a historic step: states choosing law over impunity. But to close every port, to stop every shipment, to prosecute every criminal, political will must meet people’s power. The People’s Congress is where that convergence begins.”

 

 

 

 

“The Nakba has never ended — and neither has the genocide. Over the past two years, the Israel–US axis has waged a live-streamed genocide in Gaza while attacking the United Nations and undermining the foundations of international law.

 

“We are living in a dangerous ‘might makes right’ era. But it is never too late to resist it and to insist on our rights. The People’s Congress is an essential step toward cutting the chains of state, corporate, and institutional complicity — and building the critical mass of people power through principled, intersectional coalitions needed to end the Nakba and secure justice and liberation for our people.”

 

The Congress will take place on Saturday, 7 March 2026 in Amsterdam.  - (ANA) -
