Councillors have said that the aim is to forge links between Preston and the as-yet-unchosen Palestinian town
Plans for Preston to strike up a ‘friendship agreement’ with a Palestinian town have polarised opinion amongst leading figures in the local Muslim and Jewish communities.
Although the Labour-run authority stressed that it would “continue to engage with all communities across the city hoping to build peace and friendship for all”, Mr. Dable told the Local Democracy Reporting Service that there were some glaring – and alarming – omissions from the declaration. The Preston faith covenant is an agreement between faith communities and the local authority to, amongst other things, build trusting relationships and commit to open working.
A month after the start of the conflict, all 20 of Preston’s mosques demanded the city council’s Labour members write a letter calling on national party leader Sir Keir Starmer to quit over his stance and his then decision not to press for a ceasefire. While such a missive was never sent, the authority as a whole – by an overwhelming majority – later backed a call for an immediate halt to the fighting.
