The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement launched an international campaign to collect signatures on a petition calling for action to suspend Israel's membership in the United Nations, Shehab Wire reported. The campaign coincides with the proceedings of the 81st session of the UN General Assembly.
BDS has framed the petition drive as part of broader efforts to pressure the international body over its policies toward the Palestinian territories.
