Members of the Guyana-Palestine Solidarity Group yesterday picketed outside the National Cultural Centre to send a message of disapproval to visiting US Ambassador to the United Nations (UN) Linda Thomas-Greenfield. During a recent UN meeting, Thomas-Greenfield was the only one to vote against a resolution demanding an immediate Israeli ceasefire towards Palestine.

In a press statement, the group highlighted that Guyana has consistently supported Palestine since recognising it as a free, independent, and sovereign state in 2011, while the United States has been a long-time supporter of Israel, providing it with significant military and economic aid.
