GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Since its inception in 2002, the Palestinian National Initiative has played an important local and international role in bolstering popular resistance against the Israeli occupation through the boycott of Israeli goods in European and world markets.
The PNI has also increased global solidarity with the Palestinian cause by establishing diplomatic ties with European and world countries on popular and official levels. It was a key signatory to the reconciliation agreement reached between Fatah and Hamas in April 2014, in a bid to end the Palestinian division that has persisted since Hamas took military control of Gaza in June 2007.
