“At that time, not many MPs attended, except for a few of us who still show interest, support and sympathy with the people of Palestine’s struggle.

“In that meeting, I had time to speak where I mentioned only one thing… that I consider important in the struggle for the independence of the Palestinian people from the Israeli Zionist occupation.
