The Popular Front bloc in the Tunisian Parliament submitted a legislative initiative on Wednesday for a draft law to criminalize the normalization of relations with Israel.
According to Ahmad Al-Seddik MP, the bill fits into the policy and position of the Popular Front to “immunize” Tunisia against any attempt at foreign interference. “Particularly by the Zionists,” he told reporters, “as their influence is growing.” Although he expects some other political parties to try to kill the bill, he stressed that it is an initiative to “confirm Tunisia's support to the Palestinian people.”
Two marches have been organized by the Popular Front since the start of the Jerusalem Uprising last month to protest against the Israeli aggression and the settlers’ incursions at Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The Popular Front is a coalition of political blocs which includes eleven Tunisian parties. Founded in 2012, it won 15 seats, out of 217, in the latest election.
