Comitê Brasileiro de Interesse Nacional Palestino
The Comitê Brasileiro de Interesse Nacional Palestino () is a grassroots movement representing the interests of Palestinian nationals in Brazil, and whose principal mission is to work with the legislative body of Brazil on legislation that strengthens the relationship between Brazil and Palestinians. The movement positions itself through accords and agreements the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) formed on behalf of the Palestinian people living in the Palestinian territories or in exile. Founded by members of the Palestinian Diaspora, the movement continues to gain support by members of the Palestinian Central Council and the Palestinian National Council and strives to bridge the gap between Palestinian nationals and the nation of Brazil and ensure that Brazilian support for an independent Palestinian state remains vital. History In 1993, The United States brought both the Palestinians and the Israelis to Washington. The late PLO Chairman, Yasser Arafat, sat together with Shimon Peres, the late Israeli President, and in meetings with U.S. leaders they established the Palestinian National Authority (PNA). Chairman Arafat was then democratically elected as first President of the PNA. Later, many countries (with the exception of a few) allowed the PNA to be the only representation of the Palestinian people. This continues
