In conjunction with Badil’s strategy, a coordination meeting took place on April 18, 2007, involving “national and Islamic forces”, the Anti-Apartheid Wall Campaign, the National Committee for the Commemoration of the 59th Anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba, the National Coalition for defending the rights of Palestinian in Jerusalem, Palestinian NGO Network (PNGO), and Ittijah.

• Activation of popular resistance against Jewish colonies and the Wall;
• Defending Jerusalem against Israeli measures aimed at the “Judaization” of the holy city and its isolation from the surrounding Palestinian areas;
• Preparation and coordination of the commemorations of the 59th anniversary of the Nakba.
