The urgent need to return Palestinians to their work places in Israel was central in the meeting of MAAN’s Executive Director with a senior Dutch Foreign Ministry official

Executive Director of MAAN, Assaf Adiv, met on Thursday, December 12, with Mr. Roderick van Schreven, a senior official at the Dutch Foreign Ministry, and his team at the Dutch Embassy in Israel.

During the meeting, Adiv raised the issue of the exclusion of Palestinian workers from the Israeli labor market since October 2023. He called on the Dutch Government and the EU to pressure the Israeli authorities to allow the workers to immediately return to their jobs in Israel.

It is worth noting that Mr. Van Schreven currently serves as the chairperson of the joint committee between Israel, the Palestinian Authority, and the European Union. His meeting with MAAN was one of a series of meetings held during his short visit to the country this week. Among others, the Dutch official met with senior members in the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah, Israeli Prime Minister’s Office, a senior representative of the COGAT and civil society figures in Israel, including the president of the Israeli Contractors Association.

As an organization committed to the rights of workers without distinction of religion, race, nationality, gender, or profession - democracy is our essence. We strongly oppose the authoritarian laws that the extreme government of Netanyahu, Lapid, Bennett, and Smotrich is attempting to impose.

Without democracy, there are no workers' rights, just as a workers' organization cannot exist under dictatorship.

only a victory of the democratic camp will enable a discussion on the Palestinian issue and lead to an alternative solution to occupation and apartheid while ensuring human rights and citizenship for all, Israelis and Palestinians alike. As long as the apartheid regime persists, the democratic camp will not succeed in defeating Israeli extremists. Therefore, we work to involve the Arab and Palestinian society in the protest.

We invite you:

To march with us in protests and to build an alternative, democratic, Jewish-Arab professional union in Israel. Join our quiet WhatsApp group today, "Marching with us in protest."
