On November 29, 1947, the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution to divide Palestine, marking the commencement of the Palestinian people's tragedy due to the Zionist terrorism. This unfortunate situation persists today, prompting the United Nations to designate November 29 as the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.

A delegation from independent Egyptian trade unions expressed its protest against the International Labour Organization's (ILO) stance on the aggression against Palestine in a meeting with Mr. Eric Oechslin, the director of the technical team for decent work in North African countries and the director of the ILO office in Egypt and Eritrea. The delegation handed him a letter from the independent unions addressed to the organization's general director, Mr. Gilbert F. Houngbo, objecting to the statement issued by the organization regarding the Israeli aggression on Palestine.
