Palestine Mourns Loss of British Labour MP Cox, says PLO member

PLO Executive Committee Member Hanan Ashrawi Sunday offered deepest condolences to the family of British Labour MP Jo Cox who was brutally murdered outside a West Yorkshire library on Thursday.

She said, “On behalf of the Palestinian leadership and the people of Palestine, we mourn the death of Palestine’s dear friend and peace and justice activist.”

Ashrwai explained that MP Cox was a member of the Labour Friends of Palestine and the Middle East and a passionate and courageous leader and human rights defender who advocated for various causes, including the plight of Syrian refugees, Palestinian child prisoners and an end to the illegal blockade on Gaza.

“We are deeply saddened by such a tragic and senseless loss, and our thoughts and prayers go out to her family, loved ones and the people of Britain.”
