The demonstration demands that Icelandic authorities will issue effective embargoes against Israel, severing of diplomatic relations, and the enforcement of international law. Among the organisations participating are the National Church of Iceland, the Icelandic Medical Association, the National Association of Police Officers, Samtökin ’78, and Amnesty International’s Icelandic division, to name a few. Speakers at the Reykjavík event include former foreign minister Ingibjörg Sólrún Gísladóttir, chair of the Icelandic Medical Assocation Steinunn Þórðardóttir, chair of the Icelandic Confederation of Labour Finnbjörn A. Hermannsson, and reverend Matthildur Bjarnadóttir. Musicians Páll Óskar, Tabit Lakhda, and Rima Nasser will perform at the demonstration, followed by a poetry reading by author Elísabet Jökulsdóttir.
