Two senior representatives have been invited by the Belize People's Front to visit and one of them arrived today. We spoke to him at the airport - accompanied by leader of the People's Front Nancy Marin:

Mohamed Salam, PLO Commissioner Coordinator, Anti-Apartheid Department
"We are hopeful that we will do a lot of work together to help the Palestinian cause and also to help both to cement the relationship between Belize and Palestine. First of all we will be meeting with the Prime Minister tomorrow and after that we will be meeting also with the previous Prime Minister, Mr. Musa."

"We are looking forward to have some discussion with the Prime Minister to see, to enforce the ICC decision, the ICJ decision, and also hopefully we can stop the settlement of product being coming to Belize, if any, on the agricultural thing."

"And also we are hoping to have hopefully some kind of scholarship between the University of Belize and also the Palestinian universities in Palestine. Belize was one of the countries that stood with the Palestinian people during, after the October 7 genocide war that the Israelis committed."

Jules Vasquez
"About the prospect of a ceasefire, which they say is imminent, or maybe imminent."

Mohamed Salam
"Well, the ceasefire as of 12 noon this afternoon, there was nothing signed yet. Okay, there is a chance that the ceasefire will be taking place, but we have to wait and see because Netanyahu always, we had agreements before last May, last July. We complied with the United Nations Security Council agreement and Netanyahu blamed us okay on it, but he always derailed all these negotiations. Therefore, we have to wait and see. If it does not materialize, it will be Netanyahu's fault."

A release says the PLO representatives will also be hosted for lunch by Minister Kareem Musa and former Prime Minister Said Musa. The delegation will also make an introductory visit to the University of Belize.
