UNAM could break agreements with Israel
In its lines, the UNAM reiterated its commitment to peace, democratic coexistence, ideological plurality, human rights and justicefor which he expressed his solidarity and respect for the struggle of the Palestinian people, which has been freely expressed on university campuses.
From this position, the University also called for different actions with the aim of promoting a peaceful and just solution to the conflict, and called for an immediate and permanent ceasefire by Israeli forces and to the cessation of any terrorist act.
If things are not changed, UNAM reviews and analyzes the possibility of suspending agreements with universities in Israel who oppose peace, in addition to collaborating with UNRWA and carrying out affirmative actions of cooperation with Palestinian universities.
